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

Ghana

 Organization Institution:Nyameani
Completion Date: June 2009

Community toilets in Nyameani, Ghana, where the WTA project was carried out, had no doors, or dividers, thus exposing users to the public eye. The existing toilets were not adequate in numbers to accommodate the need of the population thus they were left with a lot to be desired. Accordingly, the residents were forced to go to the nearby bush or backyards of houses in the vicinity to take care of their toilet needs.

The public toilet facilities under construction as a WTA 2008 project in this area consists of squat flush toilets using underground water. This will alleviate health hazards stemming from odors and insects. It is expected that the new toilets will serve as a symbolic structure to make the residents aware of the toilet related sanitation issues and help them change their traditional perception about general sanitation.
