To mark World Toilet Day 2016, we're launching our latest report into the state of the world's toilets. This year's focus is on urban sanitation, a particularly important topic at a time when more and more people across the world are moving from rural areas to cities.

Your support makes a difference

Last year we helped over three million people gain access to a safe, clean and private toilet – that’s almost 350 people an hour!

We work with our local partners using local materials, low-cost solutions, and are always exploring new ways to deal with human waste.

We also campaign tirelessly to demand that governments target their development efforts and spending on sanitation. It might not be sexy or nice to talk about, but we know that toilets save lives.
