For £60, you can twin your toilet at home, work or school with a latrine in the remote Giharo Commune of Rutana Province, Burundi, a camp for Internally Displaced People in the DRC or a village in Cambodia.
UK-based charities Cord and Tearfund have linked up to bring you Toilet Twinning, a unique way to help transform lives in poor communities across the world.
When you twin your toilet you’ll receive a framed certificate of your toilet's twin, containing a photo, the latrine's location and its GPS coordinates so you can look it up on Google Maps.
Tearfund and Cord will use the money raised to help provide access to better sanitation, clean water and hygiene education – helping people enjoy better health, go to school and work, and ultimately, begin to flush away poverty.
Since the launch of Toilet Twinning in 2009, more than 1,600 latrines have been built in Burundi, providing safe loos for nearly 10,000 people! They have also received training on domestic hygiene and now have access to clean water.
Read about Tuyisenge Jean, just one of the people who now has somewhere clean and safe to go to the loo.
