Impact, in numbers.
Behind every carbon credit sits a household, a water point, a tree still standing. This page is where those numbers come from, one workbook, cited to source, dated to the day.
How the numbers get here.
Every impact figure on sanitap.org, cookstoves distributed, water points repaired, tonnes of CO₂e reduced, hectares of forest not cleared, is drawn from a single Excel workbook the SaniTap team maintains.
When a number changes there, it changes everywhere it's cited: the home page stat-strip, the live impact tracker, the individual project pages, and any Knowledge Hub article that quotes it. That's what "one source of truth" means in practice: no chance of a stale figure surviving in a corner of the site because nobody remembered to update it.
Each number carries its source, the report, monitoring exercise or external dataset it comes from, and an as-of date, so you can see when the figure was last confirmed. Programme totals combine SaniTap-delivered and MadAvance-delivered results. Country context figures cite third-party sources (World Bank, WHO/UNICEF JMP, Global Forest Watch, Ministry of Water) and are dated to the reference year of the underlying dataset.
Where a metric is illustrative rather than credited, for example hectares of deforestation avoided, derived from tonnes of non-renewable biomass saved at ~204 t/ha, this is called out in the notes alongside the value.
