World Toilet Day is coming up on November 19. What is World Toilet Day? "World Toilet Day is a day to raise awareness and inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis – a topic often neglected and shrouded in taboos. Today, 2.4 billion people are struggling to stay well, keep their children alive and work their way to a better future – all for the want of a toilet."

This year's theme is toilets and jobs, focusing on how proper sanitation can affect people's livelihood, businesses, the workforce and the economy.

If you are interested in supporting this cause financially, consider donating to AWWA’s sister organization, Water For People. Its goal is to help people who don’t have access to safe water and sanitation.
