Flood, drought and rising sea levels threaten sanitation systems – from toilets to septic tanks to treatment plants. Everyone must have sustainable sanitation that can withstand climate change and keep communities healthy and functioning. #WorldToiletDay https://t.co/FWllQbvMVW

[UN-Water @UN_Water]

For billions of people around the world, sanitation systems are either non-existent or ineffective.

After 15 yrs Connecting Countries is retiring. Each of our 9 Kenyan schools will sustain their latrines, tanks & handwash stations. Future WaSH projects will happen through an assoc’n with Rotary Club International. Thx to our volunteers & supporters- we are forever grateful! ❤️

Recently, our Kenyan project manager (Norah) delivered 5,760 books to partner schools in Nyandarua County West, Kenya. Each school received 640 books (storybooks, textbooks, dictionaries & atlases). Thanks to our supporters, and the efforts of Norah and her army of volunteers! 📚

It‘s been 1 yr since the sudden passing of our dear friend & Connecting Countries' director Eric Deys. Eric never physically reached the Kenyan schools he assisted, but his memory lives on; Connecting Countries dedicated its most recent latrine block in Eric's name. ❤️

We LOVE this invention! Clean hands are so important! ❤️ 🧼

[BBC World Service @bbcworldservice]

This nine-year-old Kenyan inventor has come up with an ingenious way to wash his hands, and reduce the spread of the #coronavirus 👐🏾🙌🏾

State of latrine construction at Chaka Reli Primary school. Funds used for this project were raised during the Double Your Donation fundraiser held in December 2019. Thank you to all our donors who helped make this happen! ❤️

[Connecting Countries @CCAAS_Hamilton]

The latrine project at Chaka Reli Primary School is in its final stages. The workers are pointing the exterior mortar lines of the bricks and parging the surface to give the bricks a smoother appearance. The project should be completed early next week. #kenya #school #latrine

The iron roofing sheets are on at Chaka Reli Primary's new latrine block! These new latrines are coming along and we are making great progress. #kenya

Happy World Water Day everyone!

[Ont Branch @CWRAONT]

Today is World Water Day! #WorldWaterDay Whether it is hand washing or enjoying the beauty and power of water we want to take a day to acknowledge it!

[Connecting Countries @CCAAS_Hamilton]

Check out the #latrine building progress at Chaka Reli Primary School in #Kenya! A short while ago the pit was being dug, and here are photos of the workers laying down a cement foundation. Great progress!

Children at Kanguu Primary School show off their new water tank, purchased with charitable donations from @reidcoolsaet and his @towaterfront42k supporters. Check out this letter to Reid from a student at the school. 😍

Thank you Reid for making a difference to so many. ❤️

[Connecting Countries @CCAAS_Hamilton]

We are so grateful for our donors, North American “partner schools” and Canadian businesses who have helped finance the building of over 185 latrines at Kenyan schools since 2005.

Connecting Countries recognizes sanitation is critical to supporting children’s education. 🚽 💦

[Water and Sanitation for Urban Populations @WSUP_Intl]

“My hygiene has completely changed and I’m more motivated to go to school. I’m not afraid that I’ll be excluded due to poor hygiene.”

We’re working to provide students like Rosia with improved school sanitation facilities so they can better focus on their studies.

We love a good toilet/ latrine story! https://t.co/LGcqPwHDrM

[Connecting Countries @CCAAS_Hamilton]

👇🏻This is why Connecting Countries builds latrines for primary schools in Kenya! 183 latrines built since 2006 and a few more under construction!

Happy World Toilet Day! 🚽 #WorldToiletDay

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Students in a remote Moldovan village had no toilets in their school, which affected not only their health, but also their attendance.

On #WorldToiletDay, find out how a local teacher found a solution & helped improve the lives of her students. https://t.co/9Fknn4gaSL

[United Nations @UN]

➡️ 4.2 billion live without safely-managed sanitation
➡️ 673 million practice open defecation
➡️ 3 billion lack basic hand-washing facilities

On Tuesday's #WorldToiletDay, see how you can help support sanitation for all: https://t.co/VMIrjmwvby

[United Nations @UN]

Billions worldwide lack access to safely-managed sanitation, with poor & marginalized people disproportionately affected.

On Tuesday's #WorldToiletDay, see how the #GlobalGoals aim to ensure access to sanitation for all by 2030. https://t.co/HLx87eF7EL

[Connecting Countries @CCAAS_Hamilton]

World Toilet Day is a day to initiate action against the global sanitation crisis. Toilets are not just toilets; they are life-savers, dignity-protectors and opportunity-makers. Sanitation is a human right. #WorldToiletDay
