New Report from WaterAid
Ahead of #WorldToiletDay on November 19, Wateraid released a report discussing urban sanitation, and reveals the world's hardest place to find a toilet. The report focuses on India, a country that has sanitation resources that cannot keep up with its rapid urbanization. India has the largest amount of urbanites in the world- 157 million- living without safe, private toilets, and nearly 41 million that practice open defecation. Despite the Indian government's campaign to make sanitation a priority, there is a long way to go. The report also explores sanitation issues in war-ravaged South Sudan, economically booming Nigeria, and fast-growing China, each with their own struggles for proper sanitation.
