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.

Cikini village where the WTA built public toilet facilities is a slum area located in the center of Jakarta. The majority of the residents are illegal aliens and manual laborers. Passing through this area is a river and the toilet and sewage systems are in very poor conditions. Furthermore, the residents dispose their wastes carelessly thus resulting in serious pollution of the river.
The public toilet facilities built as a WTA 2008 Project in this area have flush toilets while underground water is supplied for the toilets. The facilities consist of three buildings and each building has toilets to match the local gender composition. It is expected to contribute to the advancement of the health and living style of the local residents.
