infectious diseases that kill millions of people every year.

•
his direction in life and give back to humanity – he
wanted to live his life according to the motto “Live a
useful life”.
And so , He created a organisation which linked many
existing other similar organisations

•
Jack founded the World Toilet College to provide high quality training in
Toilet Design, Maintenance, Cleanliness and Ecological Sanitation
Technologies. The college is a joint venture with the Singapore
Polytechnic.
He has now developed a SaniShop franchise model to teach the poor how
to produce and how to sell small affordable sanitation systems below U$40

What can we take away from him ?
• While here we are in Singapore , with proper sanitation
•
everywhere . There really are many other places
without this privileges that we have (India , China
, Indonesia )
Its not very likely that we will be embarking on such a
amazing journey like Jack Sim . We can still help in little
ways such as donating money to organisation which
can help , or even just spreading the awareness .
