Toilets and health go hand in hand
” It is reported that every year more children die from diarrhoea related disease than from HIV, malaria and tuberculosis combined. This situation could be solved simply by providing improved water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.”1

Consider not having access to toilets at all, no running water, no cublicle, just a field. This is the reality for many in third world countries.
