Breaking the Toilet-Taboo

Approximately 50 % of the world's population and one out of three schools have no access to safe sanitation: a degrading situation for those affected. German Toilet Organization (GTO) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation, which actively breaks the toilet-taboo and works to improve sanitation, thereby protecting the environment, human health and dignity worldwide.
