*There are currently 2.5 billion people around the world living without a toilet. Were talking 40%, so almost half, of the worlds population!
* Thats nearly every other person walking, talking and existing on our planet without the basic requirement of a toilet.
* Due to the lack of priority given to the sector, and the current poor investment rate in development, the Millennium Development Goal for sanitation will not be met until 2018 and this is just not good enough.
What do you think now?
Pump Aid are campaigning to Tackle the Taboo of really talking about sanitation and the issues surrounding this. We want to get people talking about toilets.
Sanitation isn't an easy campaign to run, or an easy issue for people to start talking about. People don't necessarily want to be associated with or get passtionate about .... poo.
The GAS campaign is working in conjunction with various partners, including the National Union of Students (NUS) and the World Toilet Organisation (WTO).
Get talking about GAS, for the journey out of poverty and inequality for these people can only begin here.
