World Toilet Day

19TH NOVEMBER 2009
Did you know that over 2.5 billion people don't have a toilet? World Toilet day is a day to draw attention to the fact that over a 3rd of the world does not have access to basic sanitation like toilets.

What can you do about it?

If you're the facebook type- download the application super badger (a fun way to stay informed and campaign on justice issues).
There is a campaign through super badger to pressure Mike Foster MP – the UK government minister responsible for global sanitation – to be a toilet hero.

Or you can twin your toilet. Our friends at CORD have set up a project where for only £60 you can twin your toilet with a toilet in the developing world. Your money will pay for a toilet block to be built for a family and they'll even give you a GPS reference so you can check out your toilet on google earth!

And what do toilets have to do with Just Trade? Well, by working with Just Trade, one of the ladies in Peru, Neri, has been able to save up enough money to have a toilet installed in her home! So keep shopping with Just Trade and campaigning for justice and together we can make a difference!

Happy World Toilet Day!
