2. “Access to sanitation currently ranks as the
most-off track of the Millennium Goals, and one
that will obviously not be met by 2015,”
Catarina de Albuquerque,
the UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and
sanitation.
3. History
• In 2001, the World Toilet Organization declared its founding day, 19
November, as “World Toilet Day”
– Since then, 19 November has been observed globally by its member
organizations.
– In September 2009, a new website was launched dedicated to the
celebration of World Toilet Day.
• The World Toilet Organization (WTO) is a global non-profit
organization committed to improving toilet and sanitation
conditions worldwide.
– WTO focuses on toilets instead of water, which receives more
attention and resources under the common subject of sanitation.
– Founded in 2001 with 15 members, it now has 151 member
organizations in 53 countries working towards eliminating the toilet
taboo and delivering sustainable sanitation. The World Toilet Summits
and World Toilet Expo and Forum.

7. • Alex Wekesa, 26, stands near
the Fresh Life toilet he
operates in Mukuru, Nairobi.
Wekesa has two toilets ('choo'
in Swahili) and charges four
shillings per adult customer,
and two shillings per child. He
says he gets around 50
customers per day. Before,
people in the slum often used
'flying toilets': they would
urinate or defecate into a
plastic bag and then throw it
into the narrow streets
8. • The inside of a Fresh Life
toilet, made by Sanergy.
The walls are made of
prefabricated concrete,
and two containers are
placed under the toilet to
capture the waste. The
containers are emptied
every day by a team of
waste collectors and
brought to a nearby site
for processing into
organic fertiliser
9. • Locals celebrate the inauguration of composting toilets in
an El Alto neighbourhood in La Paz, Bolivia. Many people
have no sewerage service – for them the closest river is the
bathroom – but Sumaj Huasi, an NGO, provides families
with some materials and the plans to build their own toilets
close to their homes, but in separate buildings. The
homeowner supplies the labour and easy-to-acquire
materials
10. • The family add personal
touches to their new
toilet. The front section
collects urine, which is
piped to a container
outside the building, and
there is a receptacle
below for faeces. The
toilet doesn't smell
because ash or wood
chips are sprinkled into
the bowl after every use
11. • In Jamestown, the poorest part of the Ghanian
capital, Accra, local residents used money from tours of
the harbour to pay for a toilet, to reduce open defecation
on their beach. The beach is much cleaner and now has a
small bar as well, as Ghana makes progress on sanitation
12. • Privy in Peru: the girls and boys toilets of a
primary school in the village of Yana Mono Zone
Two, on the banks of the Amazon river near
Iquitos, Peru
13. • The public toilets in
the Mercado de
Productores
(Producers's market)
in the city of Iquitos.
They cost 0.3 Peruvian
Soles ($0.12) to use,
without toilet paper,
or 0.5 Peruvian Soles
if you need a wipe …
14. • In 2009 this was the only
toilet at Simakakata
community school in
southern Zambia. It was for
the exclusive use of the
teachers – the children had
to use a nearby cornfield.
There was no water for
washing hands either. But
since this photo was taken,
a toilet block has been built
with money from Care
International, which has
made a huge difference to
hygiene
15. • The Golden Poo, a
Japanese good luck charm
(playing on the similarity
between the words for
'luck' and 'poo' in
Japanese) was an eye-
catching exhibit at the
London School of Hygiene
and Tropical Medicine last
month in an exhibition
drawing attention to
sanitation, a major killer of
children in developing
countries
16. • An Indian boy defecates in a poor
neighborhood of New Delhi.
Nearly half of India's 1.2 billion
people have no toilet at home.
More people own a mobile
phone, according to the country's
2011 census. Jairam Ramesh,
until recently India's rural
development minister, urged
women not to get married into
families that do not have toilets
in their homes. Globally, poor
sanitation kills more people than
HIV and Aids, malaria and
measles combined, according to
the charity Wherever the Need
17. • A makeshift toilet by
the side of a stream in
Srinagar, the summer
capital of Indian
Kashmir. According to
Water.org, 780 million
people lack access to
clean drinking water,
often as a result of
sewage leaking directly
into rivers and lakes
18. • Local loo: a woman outside her new latrine.
Burma now has three 'open defecation free'
villages, following a community-led sanitation
effort by Unicef and the health ministry. Using
hands-on visual training and demonstrations,
the villages in western Bago Division have
stamped out the practice, but 8% of Burma's
population still defecate outdoors
19. • An abandoned toilet
on the banks of the
Mekong river in Laos.
The degradation of
the water, vital as an
economic lifeline for
60 million people, is a
great concern for the
six Asian nations it
flows through
20. A communal latrine in Kroo Bay in
Freetown, Sierra Leone. Cholera is a severe
problem in Sierra Leone and elsewhere in west
Africa because of open defecation and
improper disposal of sewage
21. There is little privacy in these public latrines in
Kroo Bay. There is also a security issue,
especially for women needing to go to the
toilet at night, according to a report by
Amnesty International
22. How do you provide sanitation in water-
scarce, sewage-light areas? Michael Hoffman,
of the California Institute of Technology,
explains his winning design in the Reinvent the
Toilet challenge
23. 7,500 people die daily due to a lack of
sanitation, including 5,000 children under
five years of age.
Annually, 272 million schooldays are
missed due to water-borne or sanitation-
related diseases.
