Tacking the global sanitation crisis - World Toilet Day 2017

• Did you know that right now, today, 4.5 billion people live without a household toilet that safely disposes of their waste?
• Or that it’s estimated some 2.3 billion people still do not have basic sanitation facilities such as toilets or latrines?
• Of these, approx. 892 million still defecate in the open, for example in street gutters, behind bushes or into open bodies of water?
• And did you know that at least 10% of the world’s population is thought to consume food irrigated by wastewater?
