40 % of the world’s population do not have access to adequate sanitation. That’s 2.6 billion people having to practice open defecation, urinating into rivers which lead to water borne diseases such as acute diarrhea, cholera and dysentery.

The last taboo of talking about toilets has to be eradicated in order to give the toilet crisis The warranted attention. Everyone should have the right to have an access to a toilet anytime and anywhere. No one should die from not having a toilet.

2.5 billion people worldwide don’t have access to proper sanitation, risking their health, stripping their dignity, and killing 1.8 children a year.

Safe disposal of children’s feces leads to a reduction of nearly 40% in childhood diarrhea.

Diarrheal diseases kill five times as many children in the developing world as HIV/AIDS.

That’s 5,000 children DYING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Disease kills more children than either malaria or AIDS, stunts growth, and forces millions – adults and children alike – to spend weeks at a time off work or school, which hits both a country’s economy and its citizens’ chances of a better future.

The majority of the illness in the world is caused by fecal matter.

Lack of sanitation is the world’s biggest cause of infection.

One gram of feces can contain 10 million viruses, one million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs.
