World Toilet day : 19th November


                                           November 19th  :  World Toilet Day 

 A day to celebrate the importance of sanitation and raise awareness for the 2.6 billion people (nearly half of the world's population) who don't have access to toilets and proper sanitation.2.6 billion people worldwide are without access to proper sanitation, , which risks their health, strips their dignity, and kills 1.8 million people, mostly children
World Toilet Day has been created by WTO as an annual celebration of toilets and sanitation and their vital contribution to public health, personal dignity and environmental sustainability.
Due to inspiring progress in access to water globally, there exists a common misconception that the goal of reducing water-borne illness is on track. However, while these diarrheal diseases are described as water-related, but they are more accurately explained as fecal-related, since the pathogens that produce these diseases derive from fecal matter. Use of toilets is the first step to preventing diarrheal disease – reducing such death by at least 30%. 

While the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to give more people access to clean water is on track to be accomplished before 2015, at the current rate of progress, the goal of cutting the lack of access to sanitation in half will not be met globally until 2049. Not only is this unacceptable in its own right but it hinders any progress which has been made in other sectors of the MDGs, especially infant mortality, maternal health, universal primary education and combating HIV/AIDS and malaria.


Have pride in being a part of a noble mission.


Lets Celebrate the importance of the sanitation and raise the awareness for sanitation crisis prevailing in India .

Portable Sanitation a substitute for toilets in India



Sanitation is the bare minimum a human can wish for. But not everyone on this planet is equally lucky. Worse is the condition in developing and under-developed countries. According to UN summit of 2005 at New York, “A child dies every 15 seconds by diarrhea, mainly caused by poor sanitation and water supply.” 42% of the world population has no safe place to go for toilet. This leads to use of open and unsafe places. According to UNICEF, a gram of human feces has 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria and 12,000 parasites. Enough to make this planet a disease prone place!

There are two main reasons why the sanitation target is so off track. Most countries have no single institution which is responsible for sanitation and there is rarely a national budget dedicated to sanitation. Of 14 countries examined by Water Aid, only two were found to have a dedicated sanitation budget. Despite sanitation having helped reduce mortality in their own countries, aid donors too do not priorities sanitation for spending in today’s developing countries.

Developing countries have their unique problems. In countries like
India bureaucracy and red tapism does not spare even sanitation Land, water supply, electricity and above all legal formalities make simple sanitation project year long projects. And if at all they are constructed, there is no one to maintain that. In a very short span of time they become unusable and that land is now good for no other use.
South East Asian countries are worse. In many villages, availability of toilet is considered to be a luxury!

The major pain areas for Asia in terms of sanitation are
a. unavailability of water
b. no proper drainage system
c. poor waste disposal management
d. conventional systems are costly and difficult to maintain

An economical, hygienic and safe answer to the problem is Portable Toilets. A portable toilet not only solves the problem of health and hygiene but also can provide employment to the uneducated poor masses. Every single portable toilet employs two people for maintenance. And yes, this all can be achieved without running behind bureaucrats for legal permissions, water supply permission and so on.

So, why this simple way of health and sanitation, which can also empower our poor uneducated masses with employment perceived as an underdog? How can the political, social and religious leaders talk of development and progress without hygiene and sanitation? It is the war of the poor which needs strong political and budgetary priority and not just sympathy.

Challenge for the poor in the Asian countries is health, sanitation and employment.
Choice was always with us and will remain with us.
 
Let’s do it!

Restrooms advertisements / advertisements in toilets cabins and washrooms has massive potential market. It is basically untapped market due to lack of initiative of people. It is feasible idea and even the advertising cost is less than print and TV media. The average person spends 1-4 minutes in restrooms /toilets where the potential customers has undivided attention unlike other media radio, television or magazines etc and also in restrooms ads aren't able to change the channel or station or flip to another page.)
This is a great opportunity to engage customers.
Ads in restrooms/toilets have 40% strong impression from other media. Part of the reason for strong impression is that customers have few distraction for standing in line for public restrooms .( as per study conducted by Rice university)
products which can be advertised on restrooms
Eg:Hygiene related products ( best suited products )
Procter & Gamble Co.'s Charmin, the nation's No. 1 toilet paper brand, has debuted its first mobile advertising sponsorship, working with global bathroom directory Sit Or Squat Inc. on its Web site and mobile applications.
Restrooms advertisements will be also be a new mode of advertisements for advertising agency.
