Let's work together to change this situation and to create a sustainable future!
You will see that your toilet is more important than you think!
- 40% of the world’s population (that is 2.5 billion people) practice open defecation or lack adequate sanitation facilities.
- More people in the world have a mobile phone than a toilet.
- It has been estimated that hand washing alone has the potential to cut the risk of diarrhoea disease associated deaths almost in half which could save hundreds of lives every day.
- Waterborne diseases are pathogens that are transmitted via contaminated water. Poor sanitation and hygiene practices may also contribute to water borne diseases. Most waterborne diseases cause diarrhoea while others can cause malnutrition, skin infections and organ damage.
- Diarrhoea is a major public health issue with an estimated 1.8 million people dying from diarrhoea every year. 90% of these people are children under 5 years of age.

A brief introduction...Non-Water Sanitation was born from a fundraising effort, involving a bicycle ride from Germany to India. During our tour we were raising fund for the construction of sustainable toilets in Darewadi, a village located in rural Maharashtra. Since this pilot project during which 35 households got access to toilets, we have completed several projects, ranging from providing toilets in villages to sanitation facilities in schools. From what we have learned during our projects in Europe and Asia, we are now ready to roll out our process.

I have my toilet now for two years and they are absolutely clean and odorless. I use the urine as a fertilizer in the field. It is working really well for me.
