What We Do
Toilet Twinning is a water and sanitation charity initiative.
Flush away the world’s toilet trouble with your very own twinned toilet:
How it works
1
Twin for £60
For just a £60 donation, you can twin your loo with an impoverished family’s household latrine, in a country of your choosing. For a £240 donation, you can twin with a school block or a block of toilets in a displacement camp.
2
Get a certificate
Your smallest room becomes the proud owner of a certificate, complete with a photo and GPS coordinates so you can look up your twin on Google Maps.

Transform Lives
Toilet Twinning funds the work of international relief and development agency Tearfund. Your donation will be used to provide clean water, basic sanitation, and hygiene education.
