November 19 was World Toilet Day!

2.5 billion people worldwide don't have access to proper sanitation, risking their health, stripping their dignity, and killing at least 1.8 million children a  year.

Diarrheal diseases kill five times as many children in the developing world  as HIV/AIDS. That's 5,000 children DYING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

MKWASH, the Muang Khoun Water and Sanitation for Health Project started in June 2008. Funded by AusAID through ADRA Australia, the project is vital in increasing the knowledge and practice of basic health practices to remote villages of Xiengkhuang Province. The project is now in its 2nd phase and is focusing on the Mok Mai district which is only accessible by over a days journey on traditional Lao long boats and then on foot.
