Soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae is a big fan of Toilet Twinning.
‘This is a fun idea with a very serious message,’ said Corinne. ‘4.2 billion people around the world are coping without a toilet, so it’s no surprise that 60% of all rural diseases are caused by poor hygiene and sanitation.'
‘It’s the children who suffer the most with shortened life spans, missed schooling and illness due to living with untreated sewage. For the women and girls using the bush, instead of a safe toilet, is degrading, embarrassing and can leave them vulnerable to attack. In Burundi having a toilet is literally saving lives. I would encourage everyone to get twinning!.'
