German Toilet Organization e. V.

About us

Everyone has the right to a clean, safe toilet – but for around 3.5 billion people worldwide, this is not a given. For 20 years now, we have been working to make this fundamental human right a reality.

In Germany and around the world, we promote access to sanitation, clean water, and hygiene (WASH) for all. This is because a lack of or insufficient access to good toilets and drinking water not only endangers health, but also education, equality, and human dignity.

We work in and with schools, disseminate expertise on WASH, and engage in political lobbying. Every day, we break taboos – so that toilets and hygiene finally get the attention they deserve.

Every donation helps to raise awareness, create safe school toilets, and strengthen the political will to end the global sanitation crisis.

You can find all the details about our projects and how the funds are used in our annual report at www.germantoilet.org.
