La Journée Mondiale des Toilettes 
World Toilet Day 
19 Novembre 
19th November
Toilets: an important issue for the 
United Nations community
2.5 billion people do not have “proper” toilets – 
this is more than one third of all humanity! 
1 billion people poop in the open 
2 out of 
3 live in 
Asia 
1 out of 4 
lives in 
Africa
In practice, what does it mean? 
In India, many 
children (and adults) 
poo on the street … 
… or directly in 
rivers
In practice, what does it mean? 
In Africa, toilets (when they exist!) are 
often VERY basic
Why is it a problem?
A problem easily solved!!
Why should we do something about it? 
• To avoid diseases 
(diarrhea, cholera) 
• To help children grow 
well… and learn well 
• To clean up rivers and 
the environment
And us? How was it before? 
In 1858, the Thames river got so stinky (with poo and other waste) that MPs finally 
decided to do something about it… and to construct the sewer system!
In India, the prime minister, Mr Modi, decided 
that things had to change and to clean India! 
So, what can we do? 
Education? “Take the Poo to the Loo!” 
Send the 
police? 
Give awards to those who build toilets?
And why is it important to speak about it 
here? What can we do? 
It’s your turn to tell us what you think!
