As I reflect on the past year, and on RGHI’s first five years more broadly, what stands out most is how much we have achieved in our first five years.

Our recently launched Impact Report captures the journey of RGHI from an idea into a globally recognised, independent institute advancing hygiene evidence and leadership. It reflects not only what we have achieved, but how the field itself has shifted. Hygiene, long overlooked and underfunded, is now increasingly recognised as essential to global health — supported by stronger evidence, growing leadership, and more coordinated collaboration than existed when RGHI was founded.
