That's almost 800 children per day, or one child every two minutes.
That's roughly 40% of the global population and means that around 289,000 children under five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. We started Who Gives A Crap when we learnt that 2.4 billion people don't have access to a toilet (now 2 billion – yay for progress!). Lots of room for toilet jokes, which we love.īut really, we love toilet paper because for us, it's our way of making a difference.
