World Toilet Organization (WTO) is an organization dedicated to issues involving [toilets and
sanitation. It is based in
Singapore and,
as of 2007, includes toilet associations from 44 countries around the world.
The WTO organises annual sanitation-related events such as the World Toilet Summit, and hopes to get more people educated on the importance of sanitation. It has also set up a Toilet College, aiming to educate people on sanitation.
History
Founding
The WTO was founded by Jack Sim in 2001. As the President of the RAS, he adopted the mission to raise the standards of public toilets in Singapore and around the world.
It was felt that toilets was a neglected subject and there was much to be done, which led him to establish the Restroom Association of Singapore (RAS) in 1998. Sim soon realised there were other existing toilet associations doing a good work in their country but no channel to facilitate information-sharing and gathering of resources. Sim then founded the WTO, with an aim to have a world body to unite the various toilet associations. World Toilet Organization - The Founder
Background
The
United Nations claim that more than 5 million children die every year from sanitation related diseases such as diarrhoea. More than a billion people without sanitary facilities relieve themselves on streets and in rivers, heavily polluting the water. The most important source of water contamination in developing countries is due to the lack of adequate sanitation facilities. Although public toilets are available in most countries, most of them are poorly maintained. The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship
Mission
The WTO envisages clean, safe, affordable, ecologically sound and sustainable sanitation. It aims to advocate sustainable toilet systems through capacity building and public education, and by implementing real time projects. World Toilet Organization - Vision and Mission
Philosophy
The WTO's philosophy is to focus on what is being accomplished around the world to improve public sanitation infrastructure and to showcase those accomplishments so others can learn from them.[http://www.schwabfound.org/schwabentrepreneurs.htm?schwabid=3996&extended=yes The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship
