World Toilet Day
Learner using a tippy tap
This interesting celebration day, which began in 2013, happens on 19 November each year. World Toilet Day celebrates toilets and raises awareness of the 3.6 billion people living without access to safely managed sanitation. It is about taking action to tackle the global sanitation crisis and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.”
N4BW has built numerous toilets of the long drop design, sometimes called pit latrines and in Malawi known as chimbudzi. These have been built in the grounds of schools, churches and other community venues. To encourage hand washing after use tippy taps are created and positioned near to the toilet. Many schools operate a rota system to ensure that hand washing water is readily available and the tippy tap water containers are constantly refilled
