Toilets, taps and training – a lifesaving trio

We are flushing away poverty, one toilet at a time.

By donating £60 to twin your toilet, you help fund a project in a community that will enable families to build a basic toilet, have access to clean water and learn about hygiene – a vital combination that saves lives.

When you twin, we’ll send you a certificate to hang in your loo – showing a photograph of your overseas toilet twin and GPS coordinates so you can look up your twin’s location on Google Maps!

1.7 billion people don't have somewhere safe to go to the toilet

Ikwele Primary School - Zambia

When the people of Ikwele in Zambia came together to build a community school, they were excited that their children would have an education. But it soon became clear that classrooms and teachers were not enough. Many pupils at the new Ikwele Primary School often missed class – because there were no toilets.

‘Pupils used the nearby bush,’ recalls Deputy Headteacher Ephraim Mphundu, ‘which made a lot of them sick every day.’ 

Girls’ attendance suffered for other reasons too. Because the school didn’t  have toilets, girls stayed home during their period. Many dropped out altogether.

Toilet Twinning’s partner has helped provide new toilets at Ikwele Primary. The dramatic increase in the number of children on the register has led to the community needing to build new classrooms!
