Taps + Toilets

We believe that Water Supply and Sanitation are key to our achieving global health.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

SDG TARGET 6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.
We launched our ‘Taps and Toilets’ in 2018 and are building up our web-based resources and campaigning to promote these issues.
The Water, Engineering Development Centre (WEDC) at Loughborough University, UK produces a wide range of excellent resources to support the learning and implementation of good practice.
A list of the WEDC Information Poster series is provided below.
