World Toilet Day- Tomorrow!

November 19 is World Toilet Day.
It might seem a bit ridiculous to have a special day dedicated to toilets.

BUT

· Think of the millions of people who have no access to adequate sanitation

· Think of how you should feel if you were obliged to go outside in the fields instead of disposing of a nice clean and private toilet

· Think of the thousands of girls who cannot go to school because they don’t dispose of separate toilets

· Think of all the people being ill or dying from contaminated water and poor hygiene

Our Federation theme focuses on clean water and sanitation, so it is appropriate for our Clubs to make a special effort for a sanitation project on this day. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every Club did a fund-raising activity to build one toilet? This would really make a difference.

Go to the PEP on our water website, www.soroptimistsgoforwater.nl and select a sanitation project.
