Family cubicle number 10 now has an official twin in the shape of latrine number 1189, in Burundi's remote Giharo Province.
Toilet Twinning is a potty idea with a deadly serious message. Apparently, 2.6 billion people do not have access to a toilet - that’s 40% of the world population - and a child dies every 17 seconds from diarrheal diseases. And those figures don't include music festivals!
I interviewed Ruth Knight about the new African khazi and she said ‘We're delighted to twin our state of the art facilities with a latrine for a family in Burundi; it’s a real reminder of how fortunate we are here in the UK and how essential basic toilets are.’
