Homepage | www.sanitation-is-dignity.org Best Drupal site of the month, and the basic philosophy can be described as pro-toilet.
Right now, 2.5 billion people in the world are in need of basic sanitation. That’s two in five of us.
Sanitation saves lives and the faster we act the more lives we save.
A child’s life could be saved every 20 seconds, if safe drinking water and basic sanitation were available. This improvement could reduce 80% of all sickness and disease; it could save more lives per year than are lost due to war. The dramatic health improvements would permit more dignified lifestyles – providing each man, woman or child with more time to work, learn or care for the family.
