Every day, over 700 children under 5 die from diarrhoea linked to unsafe water, sanitation and poor hygiene.
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 medicines or food and fall into debt.
Toilet Twinning funds hygiene education via community-led workshops and sourcing local materials for families and communities to build their own toilets.

Twin a Toilet!I take it for granted that I have somewhere to go to the loo. But one in three people in the world don’t. Imagine seeing your children die because your family’s drinking water is contaminated by human waste. 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!

Simquambo is proud to have built a new toilet for his family in Zambia.
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.
Why not Toilet Twin now?
Dignity is restored when the whole family can use a private, hygienic toilet at their home and no longer have to squat in the bush.
