Sanitation isn’t just about toilets.

It’s about being healthy for school, for work, for your family.

It’s time to #RecoverBettter by making #sanitation & #hygiene for all a reality.

It’s time for the Sanitation and Hygiene Fund.

It's #HumanRightsDay!

1 in 3 schools lack basic #sanitation. If we are to invest in our children’s future, we must begin by providing them with a safe and healthy environment in which to learn.

It’s time to ensure sanitation and #MenstrualHealth for all.

[Dominic O'Neill 🚽 @SHFchief]

Sanitation is a human right, but 4.2 billion people do not have access to safe sanitation facilities.

This is unacceptable!

We need to #BuildBackBetter to make sanitation and hygiene for all a reality.

Most of us take toilets for granted.

But that is not the reality for a substantial proportion of the world’s population.

Access to #sanitation and #hygiene is a basic human right. It’s time to ensure that we #RecoverBetter and no one is left behind.

Congratulations @UNICEF for winning the global award for mobile innovation in rural WASH. Innovations like this are critical for promoting #sanitation, #hygiene and #MenstrualHealth. The Sanitation and Hygiene Fund supports innovative sanitation solutions.

Millions die each year from diseases that could have been prevented with soap and water.

But unless you can #WashYourHands at home, you are not safe from the spread of disease.

It’s time to #BuildBackBetter.

Many people wonder why #MenstrualHealth & Hygiene is an issue, says Ziadath Achimi, a #MenstrualHealth activist in Benin.

But countries will not progress unless this and other aspects of #sanitation and hygiene are addressed!

We need to see and understand how #sanitation and #hygiene impact health, education, and the economy.
We need everyone working together.

In Nepal, #sanitation-related diseases such as diarrhoea are a leading cause of death among children under 5.

Dr Shrestha says there should be no delay in prioritizing sanitation, #hygiene & #MenstrualHealth.

The use of a sanitary pad for more than 8 hours is a risk to health.

Unfortunately, many women in India have no choice. Aqsa hopes the Sanitation & Hygiene Fund will help address this.

#MenstrualHealth is essential.

The only way to stop the stigma around #menstruation is…to talk about it. Education empowers both girls and boys to ask questions, seek answers, and not be embarrassed by this normal biological process.

In Madagascar, lack of toilets and #sanitation infrastructure forces many girls & women to do their business outdoors, eroding their safety and dignity.

It’s time to ensure that everyone has access to safe #sanitation and #hygiene.

"Small investments won’t get us there," says Dr Mazhar Abbas.

We will have to invest more and bring together NGOs, institutions and people to achieve #sanitation and #hygiene for all.

In several countries across the world, the sanitation and hygiene sector suffers from chronic underfunding. The Sanitation and Hygiene Fund will invest in country-led programs to accelerate progress and sustainable impact.

[Dominic O'Neill 🚽 @SHFchief]

Sanitation & hygiene are key to preventing or
managing the outbreak of many deadly infectious
diseases, to reducing maternal and neonatal death, to curbing the spread of anti-microbial resistance.

It's time to invest in #sanitation and #hygiene in healthcare facilities.

[Dominic O'Neill 🚽 @SHFchief]

Every doctor, nurse, and health care worker must be able to count on having safe #sanitation and #hygiene at work.

[Essity @essity]

25% of children avoid using school washrooms daily, and as many as 80% of teenagers refrain from going to the toilet in high school. There are many reasons, but one common theme is clear: poor hygiene in school washrooms leads to students avoiding them.

“Holding it” for an entire day at school is not the best alternative for any child.

Lack of #sanitation and #hygiene in schools has a huge impact on children’s health – and their education.

It’s time to provide all schools with sanitation and hygiene.

[The Sanitation & Hygiene Fund @SHFund__]

Soap is just the start – #sanitation, #hygiene and #MenstrualHealth are essential to health, to education, and to economic development.

It’s time to invest in solutions that improve the lives of billions.
