World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day happens annually on November 19.  The purpose?  To highlight the need for toilets and sanitation around the world, especially in countries where toilets are limited or non-existent.  According to the World Health Organization, "Each year, World Toilet Day on 19 November highlights the importance of sanitation and hygiene in driving improvements in public health, gender equality, education, economic development and environmental protection. This year’s theme is ‘Valuing Toilets’."  

Something most people take for granted isn't the case for everyone.  Check out this important day and why it is highlighted annually.  You might be surprised by what you learn.
