HANWASH UPDATES: October 2022

WORLD TOILET DAY 2022
MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

We face a global sanitation crisis.

 

Today, 3.6 billion people are still living with poor quality toilets that ruin their health and pollute their environment. Inadequate sanitation systems spread human waste into rivers, lakes and soil, contaminating the water resources under our feet. Safely managed sanitation protects groundwater from human waste pollution. Everyone must have access to a toilet connected to a sanitation system that effectively removes and treats human waste. The link between sanitation and groundwater cannot be overlooked.

This World Toilet Day, let’s make the invisible visible. World Toilet Day is held every year on 19 November. It has been an annual United Nations Observance since 2013.
