Sample letter

Dear Sir/Mdm,

It’s World Toilet Day on 19 November!

Most people don’t like to talk about toilets, but at World Toilet Organization we love to talk about them and we’d like more people to spare a thought for the toilet on this year’s World Toilet Day.

Could you imagine not having a toilet? What if for one day only, no-one in our country had a toilet - it’s pretty unthinkable isn’t it? Yet for 2.6 billion people in the world having no toilet is a daily reality.

Children are literally dying for the toilet, in the developing world a child dies every 15 seconds from water-related diseases.

So today, I write to invite you to consider how vital toilets are, spare a thought or campaign for 40% of the world’s population who have to live without the basic necessity of somewhere safe to go to the toilet.

World Toilet Organization helps to eradicate this sanitation crisis and I urge you to get in touch with them to make the world a better place for everyone.

Yours sincerely,
