Find your toilet’s other half
We are all about
Twin your toilet and fund a project in a community that helps families to build their own basic toilet, access clean water and learn about hygiene – a vital combination that saves lives.
Without proper toilets, people get trapped in a vicious cycle
They’re likely to become sick through sanitation-related diseases. Illness keeps people from working, children miss school, parents have to pay for medicine or food and fall into debt. They’re robbed of their dignity, at risk of disease and for women and children especially, at risk of harm. That stinks.
More about us
Toilet Twinning funds global WASH projects (water, sanitation and hygiene), working with local teams to transform lives through sustainable access to private toilets, safe drinking water and healthy hygiene.
If it’s easy for us to drink clean water, wash our hands or safely use the loo then let’s make it easy for everyone.

Simquambo’s story
Building a new community for Malawi
Before, they used to have to go out into the bush. He’d watch in despair as his children regularly fell ill, without understanding why.
‘This is the way it’s supposed to be when you’re a dad: you’re meant to be able to protect your children.’
After Toilet Twinning’s partner explained the link between poor sanitation and ill health, Simquambo built his pit latrine. Almost immediately, the children’s health improved and there were no more trips to hospital.
‘All dads should build toilets for their families!’ he says.
I’ve just twinned my 150th toilet and the 21st for Frankfurt International School! Collecting and recycling bottles at schools is a good way to fundraise and raise awareness

Spending a penny, visiting the loo, washing your hands, powdering your nose, nipping to the dunny, bog or toilet… whenever you GO at Hobbs House Bakery, you can see that we’ve Twinned our Toilets and we’re helping to flush away poverty.

My toilet and I are proud to be twinned with a long drop in Bihar, north India. It’s time for a sanitation revolution, and every toilet counts!

Our Nursery and Reception children held a sponsored event to raise money for toilet twinning. They raised enough to support 1 toilet.

We’ve been raising money for Toilet Twinning for many years now and have managed to raise over £60,000. Working with everyone at the charity over the years has been very smooth sailing and they are easy to contact.
