Here are her three big takeaways from four days in Melbourne.

One year ago, we set a bold vision for the next 20 years.

Since then, innovators around the world have continued developing the tools and interventions driving progress toward three goals—all focused on saving and improving even more lives.

Keep watching to learn how these goals are shaping our work for the rest of 2026 and beyond. 🎥

🔊 Sound on for a bop inspired by recent comments on our data vizualization post.

ENVIRO LOO sanitation systems are making their way across South Africa and changing the lives of people by ensuring access to clean toilets in schools.

We got to see first hand the clean, odorless, and water saving system which saves 13 million liters annually and results in an 80% reduction in absenteeism, especially among girls. This system ensures the hygiene students need at school to thrive.

Moms across the Gates Foundation help lead work that saves the lives of mothers and children, fights infectious disease, and expands economic opportunity for everyone.

We asked their kids what their moms do for a living, and let’s just say, they had some interesting ideas.

Across the continent, African experts are already leading solutions that improve care, reach more people, and save lives in communities every day.
When we invest in people, especially mothers, babies, and future generations, we lay the foundation for lasting progress.
As we look ahead, what is one solution you believe Africa should prioritise in 2026?
