In your proposal, you clearly describe your organization as not-for-profit, and yet you are creating lots of value for the manufacturers of this product, and the consumers who use it. This approach may work well for you, and if you are able to secure the grant funding and subsidies you need, that will perhaps make it easier for you to focus on the needs of the very poor. What I wanted to ask is if you could imagine a role for credit in this model, either for manufacturers who need loans to build up a manufacturing operation or purchase materials they need to manufacture the sanitation systems, or for consumers, who may not always be able to access subsidies. What, if any, role do you see for credit?
