World Toilet Day, 19th November, as it was declared by the World Toilet Organisation, is a day used to highlight the 2.5 billion people who are living without a toilet. Pump Aid and campaigners across the globe have used this day to bring the issue of poor sanitation in developing counties onto peoples agenda’s, and to put this issue into the international development spotlight – which it sometimes fails to receive.

This year get involved in World Toilet Day with Poop Creative who are a not-for-profit organisation working to promote the importance of sanitation and hygiene through comedy. Poo is still a taboo and comedy is a powerful way to deliver a message and to initiate behaviour change.
