19th November is World Toilet Day!! One thing we all do and all need, but don't like to talk about, is toilets and the reasons we need them. Access to toilets is deeply connected to water.

On this day, we want to acknowledge the importance of this often-overlooked topic in our day-to-day life.
Whatever brings you to this event, please join us. We will have a short presentation about the significance of toilets in the face of climate change and why composting toilets are so awesome. We will also have a game.

So even if you don't know why you should join this event, see it as a celebration of one of the best things in life that a person could have access to without giving it much thought.

*“THE SANITATION CRISIS
Right now, there are 3.5 billion people still living without safe toilets. 419 million people still practise ‘open defecation’. In these situations, diseases spread, killing 1,000 children under-five every single day. This global crisis poses a threat to nature and everyone’s health, particularly women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.

Your actions – however small – will help improve toilets and sanitation systems and protect nature. We are now counting down to 2030, with just seven years left to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) – safe toilets and water for all by 2030.
Today, the world is seriously off track. We need to work five times faster on sanitation.

World Toilet Day 2023 is about accelerating change by doing whatever you can. Take action today, learn about the issues and share the campaign with your networks. “
