5 ways to take action on World Toilet Day

by rotaryservice

By Rotary Service and Engagement

Having access to a toilet is a basic human need and right,

yet 4.5 billion people worldwide live without a safe toilet

and 892 million people still practice open defecation.

* The United Nations shared the world is not on track to reach

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6)

: to ensure availability and sustainable management

of sanitation and water for all by 2030.

T World Toilet Day, is about taking action and inspiring change.

This year’s theme, When Nature Calls, is focusing on nature-based solutions

to sanitation needs.

According the UN, since billions of people don’t have access

to toilets, human faeces are not being captured or treated

– contaminating the water and soil that sustain human life.

In order to address this global sanitation crisis, toilets

and sanitation systems that work in harmony with ecosystems must be built.

Encourage your club and district to get involved

by supporting a sanitation project:

1. Organize a water, sanitation, or hygiene (WASH) project in your community.

Collaborate with the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group (Wasrag)

for help conducting a community assessment to determine local WASH priorities.

2. Read the Guide to WASH in Schools to learn about

creating healthier communities while improving school enrollment

and attendance by bringing sanitation and hygiene services to schools.

3. Consider nature-based sanitation solutions (NBS),

which harness the power of ecosystems to help treat human waste

before it returns to the environment. Learn more.

4. Share about projects you have already implemented

on Rotary Showcase.

Find a project to support on Rotary Ideas.
