For many women, the day starts before sunrise: a walk for water, or a search for a safe, private toilet.
Our WASH financing monitoring work shows how affordable finance helps households build toilets and cut water-collection time, giving women privacy, safety and time back.
In Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, drones are changing farming. 🌾 Spraying an acre by hand takes 3–4 hours; a drone does it in 5–8 minutes.
But the real story is the farmers. Their stories, coming soon 👇

The good news is that fixing it doesn't always mean collecting more. Often it means respecting the data people already gather, by connecting it, making sense of it, and putting it back in the hands of those who can use it.
That's the work we care about at Athena Infonomics.
If you work in health, we'd love to hear from you: when did data last help you make a better decision? Or when did it arrive too late to matter?
We've explored these challenges in more detail in our blog.

Ask a frontline health worker how much time they spend filling in registers and reports, and the answer might surprise you. Now ask how often that information comes back to them in a way that helps their work.
That second answer is usually much shorter.
Every day, nurses, community health workers and lab teams record information carefully and on time. But somewhere between the clinic & the planning office, much of its value gets lost. It arrives late, sits in separate systems, or never turns into something a manager can act on.
The best measure of our work? What our partners say once it’s done.
Thank you, Just Rights for Children, BORDA and TeamLease Foundation, for your kind words and your trust.

Some realities never make it into the data. In Dhaka, we came together to change that.
Who carries the water? Who feels unsafe using a toilet? For many women & girls in Bangladesh, these are everyday struggles that still go uncounted in national data.
The work is led by Emory University, with Athena Infonomics supporting the Bangladesh research, data collection, analysis and stakeholder engagement. Together, we turned field evidence into practical indicators.

📢 The Road to YuTopia is now live on UNICEF India! 🎉
Proud to have helped YuWaah India at UNICEF develop two frameworks that put young people at the centre: as leaders at work, and partners in programmes made for them.

A girl walking to school today can face two threats to her childhood. One has existed for generations and other arrives through the phone with her.
Child marriage and online abuse look very different, but both take away a girl’s choices, her safety and her childhood.
We feel honoured to be part of this effort, working alongside those who are committed to protecting children.
We hope our work with evidence, data and responsible AI can help identify risks earlier and ensure more children get the protection they deserve.
