With your help, we want to give people access to safe sanitation facilities. To do this, we are renovating 146 latrines.
Did you know that each of our products always includes a social donation? Let's look at Sierra Leone, a country that is rich in natural resources and yet is one of the poorest in the world. As a result of a civil war, large parts of the water and sanitation infrastructure have been destroyed, which is an enormous challenge, especially for rural areas. Several outbreaks of Ebola and most recently COVID-19 have further exacerbated the situation. This is where you donate your toilet paper to give people access to a toilet.
What a big difference does access to safe sanitation infrastructure make?
We are rarely aware of the far-reaching consequences of a safe sanitation infrastructure. But it does have a major impact when people do not have access to a toilet. A lack of sanitation facilities means that people are more likely to catch infections - diseases that could actually be avoided.
In addition, it is fundamentally extremely important that children have access to a toilet at school to ensure their safety and privacy. The situation is particularly critical for young girls because without toilets with a separate area for girls, they often stay away from school as soon as their period starts.
