Toilet Construction Support Project

Our main objective is providing access to those who suffer from lack of proper sanitation and toilets. The Public Toilet Building Campaign targets developing countries designated by UN in which the majority of the population lacks access to toilet facilities. Working in collaboration with governments, NGOs, respective toilet associations, or companies, World Toilet Association plans, designs, and builds toilets in the selected countries. Toilet facilities tailored to the climates, culture, traditions and level of income of the target districts, are built in public places such as tourist attractions, schools, and parks. The primary goal is to build facilities that can be continuously used and maintained by community. Representative groups may submit proposals on behalf of countries in need. Proposals and guidelines are available on our website.

Toilets are the key to sanitation. 40% of the world population lacks proper sanitation facilities. Due to unsafe drinking water and sanitation-related infectious diseases such as typhoid, cholera, diarrhea, malaria, etc, two million people lose their lives each year.
Through toilets, the WTA hopes to save people affected by poor sanitation. The WTA`s first step to improve sanitation worldwide is to build toilets in developing countries.
→ We started the projects with 6 countries in Asia (Indonesia ►Laos ► Cambodia ► China ► Mongolia ► Pakistan) and 4 countries in Africa (Ghana ►Cameroon ►Kenya ► South Africa

In Kenya, there is a big gap between the rich and poor in terms of sanitation. Viwandani and its vicinities, in particular, where the WTA built a public toilet, represents about 60% of the Nairobi population. Their sanitation status is on a serious level. In this area, waste disposal or treatment is not carried out, therefore, the environment is extremely deteriorated. The awareness of the residents regarding the importance in use and sanitation of toilets is very lacking. The residents either purchase the drinking water at very high prices or tap the public running water system illegally. Many of the residents spend about 30% of their incomes to purchase drinking water that keep them trapped in poverty.

The public toilet built facilities as a WTA 2008 project, reflected the slum situation of the area; a container type of a toilet was provided. In order to boost their emotional attachment, the residents were invited to participate in all the steps of the building process. The residents responded to the call positively and the intent to make them involved was a success. The water for the toilet is supplied by the government running water system and the water supply is managed by Waste Disposal Department of Nairobi City.
