In 2010, the UN General Assembly recognized sanitation and water as a human right, essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights. Yet, one third of the world\u2019s population still lacks access to adequate sanitation.\u00a0Did you know that in one gram of human waste, there are potentially about 1 million bacteria, 10 million viruses, 100 worm eggs, 1,000 parasite cysts and 50 infectious diseases?\u00a0An estimated 2.4 billion people worldwide (about one in three) lack access to a facility that at least separates human excrement from human contact. More than a\u00a0billion relieve themselves on the ground or into open bodies of water. An estimated 1.8 billion people use drinking water that contains fecal matter. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid.\u00a0Those who are interested in more information, including how you can support the work of the World Toilet Organization may visit <a href=\"http:\/\/worldtoilet.org\/\"><strong>worldtoilet.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 19th is World Toilet Day.
