When disasters strike, we often think of food, water, and shelter as essentials—but what about sanitation? Safe, resilient toilets during such times become much more than just a comfort. For women and children, having a private, secure toilet isn’t just about hygiene; it’s about dignity and safety when they are most vulnerable. And let’s not forget the environment—resilient toilets prevent waste from seeping into water sources, keeping nature and people safe. Preparedness truly begins with the basics, and toilets should be at the top of the list. Because when it comes to disasters, sanitation is survival. #WorldToiletDay2024 #ResilientSanitation2030 #SanitationForAll #CountdownTo2030 #DisasterResilience #ClimateResilience #DRR #ClimateDisasters #DisasterResilientSanitation

World Toilet Day 2024: Toilets Are a Place for Peace 🚽🌍 Did you know 3.5 billion people worldwide live without a safe toilet? Sanitation is not just about convenience; it’s about dignity, health, and peace for communities. Sadly, access to safe toilets is under increasing threat due to conflict, climate change, disasters, and neglect. At the Queensland Water Directorate, our vision is for safe, secure, and sustainable water and sewerage services across Queensland. We’re proud to be part of the global effort to ensure every person has access to a toilet. By thinking globally but acting locally, we strive to protect our local communities and ensure every Queenslander benefits from vital sanitation services. This #WorldToiletDay, let’s remember: toilets are not just places for peace; they’re essential for life. #WorldToiletDay2024 #Sanitation #WaterForPeace #ThinkGlobalActLocal #QueenslandWaterDirectorate #SafeToilets #EssentialServices

In areas where Episcopal Relief & Development and its #partners work, communities often lack access to #sanitation systems. We #support communities in constructing hand-washing stations and #latrines as well as with community #workshops on #health and #hygiene. Through these workshops, people learn healthy practices that help to reduce the spread of #malaria as well as diarrhea and other #waterborneillnesses in communities. In addition, proper waste management and garbage collection help to protect land and #water. All solutions are locally-driven to ensure that the program fits in the context of each #community. https://lnkd.in/eZXHrF3D

🚽 Today is World Toilet Day 🚽 and this year's theme, "Toilets: A Place for Peace," emphasizes the critical role of safe sanitation for health, dignity, and stability. 🚻 Nearly half of the global population lacks safely managed sanitation, contributing to the spread of diseases and environmental contamination. 🚾 In conflict zones and disaster-prone areas, sanitation systems are often the first to be destroyed, worsening public health and security. 🚺 Addressing the sanitation crisis requires global cooperation, increased investment, and a commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to safe, dignified sanitation. https://lnkd.in/eCmZTaMW #WorldToiletDay #water #sanitation #watersecurity #sdg6

"The recent typhoons have exacerbated pre-existing fragilities where access to safe water and sanitation services was already limited. In some communities, open defecation has been reported with facilities washed away, raising concerns about disease outbreaks."                     MY TAKE The typhoons have worsened the water crisis, leaving families with no choice but to rely on plastic bottled water for survival. While this offers quick relief, it creates long-term problems by adding to plastic waste and pollution in already fragile communities. Switching to bottle-less water systems is a better solution, providing clean drinking water without the environmental downside, even during challenging times.   MY ADS Opting for healthy and eco-friendly choices for your staff cultivates a productive and energetic workforce and showcases a dedication to their welfare and a sustainable future for our planet. Choose the SAFE and ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY option for you and everyone.   Why choose BOTTLE-LESS Drinking Water System and WATZMANN Air? Besides HYGIENIC & SAFE, it reduces plastics in our environment too.

On this World Water Day, we embrace the theme of Water For Peace through our commitment to Sanitation for All. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right that unfortunately remains unmet universally. 🌎 💧Aquacycl is dedicated to changing this reality by enhancing water quality and expanding access through distributed sanitation. Last year, we treated 755,200 gallons of water, and this year, we are on track to triple that number, treating over 2.25 million gallons! Through our efforts to improve water quality and provide distributed sanitation via off-sewer, off-energy grid wastewater treatment, we aim to extend water access to communities that have never had it before. 🚰 Join us in our mission to ensure that everyone has equal access to sanitation https://hubs.ly/Q02qk67f0 #WorldWaterDay #SanitationForAll #WWD #wateraccess #waterforpeace #aquacycl

🔊 Community-led ownership of water and sanitation systems reduces dependency on external stakeholders, enhances community ownership for improved WASH operation and maintenance and is a potential cost saver. At Water Action we believe in; ✅ Mandatory community involvement in decision-making processes. ✅ Local management of water infrastructure. ✅ Establishment of community-led water committees or structures. ✅ Enhancing business opportunities for communities around Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).

#WASH "EMERGENCY SANITATION PROJECT" The Emergency Sanitation Project is a collaboration between IFRC, WASTE and Oxfam GB to solve some of the most difficult challenges with providing sanitation in emergencies. The Emergency Sanitation Project aims to increase the global understanding of current and future emergency sanitation and to propose new concepts and modular technologies for safe excreta disposal in emergency settings that are applicable in a variety of situations. A menu of options will be available through the development of specialised emergency sanitation modules, which are rapid to deploy and are cost -effective when compared with traditional solutions. We are looking at a wide range of issues – more information on which can be found in the specific areas on the left. https://lnkd.in/g6pyqhHv https://lnkd.in/g6pyqhHv
