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.

Phnom Pehn River-bank area where WTA¡¯s public toilet facilities were built is located in the center of Phnom Pehn City. The area is a major tourist attraction where many facilities of governmental departments and schools are concentrated. Therefore, public toilets are in high demand in this area.
According to the Cambodian government, although the perception of sanitation by the people is improving rapidly with the concerted efforts of the people, sanitary facilities are not sufficient enough to support such efforts. The local residents frequently use the outdoors for their toilet needs and still lack the civility of using toilets. The new public toilet facilities being built by the WTA are expected to serve as a means to enlighten the residents about the importance of clean toilets.
