Twin your church toilets

We are truly humbled by all the support we receive from churches across the UK.

Could you dedicate a Sunday service to toilet poverty, or put on a toilet-themed event, or create a Toilet Twinning display at the back of your church?

For a donation of £60, you can twin one of your church toilets with a household latrine ina country of your choosing. Take a look at the options in the drop-down menu of the twinning section.

For a donation of £240, you can twin your church toilets with a school toilet block or a church toilet block – here.

To raise funds to support Toilet Twinning, you might like to hold a Blue for the Loo day, or a (no) Soggy Bottoms bake sale. Check out the resources opposite, or get all the church resources with one simple click:

Dates for your diary

Harvest is an ideal time of year for a service about God’s blessings.

World Toilet Day is on 19 November. You could choose the Sunday before (17 November) or the Sunday after (24 November) for a special focus on Toilet Twinning, and God’s abundant blessings.

From disease and debt…

Sita lives in Ivory Coast. In her village, no-one had toilets until a few years ago: the smell was terrible, and disease spread rapidly. Sita’s children were constantly sick – but Sita couldn’t afford to buy medicines, and her debts with the health centre mounted up. ‘We felt hopeless; trapped. We didn’t want to live anymore,’ she says.

Toilet Twinning’s partner MAP started teaching families about hygiene and sanitation, and showed them how and where to build toilets. Now Sita has a toilet at her home, her family are healthy and debt free – and the children are going to school.

Here’s a film of Sita’s inspirational story:
