Twinning Twenty Two Toilets in 2022
Toilet Twinning is about linking your toilet…… with a toilet in one of the poorest places on the planet.
The Rotary Club of Truro, Evolution is aiming to twin 22 toilets in Truro area by the end of 2022. Our "Twenty Two Toilets in Twenty Two" Truro project will reach out to all parts of the community. |

For only £60 you can help us twin your personal, community or public loo - any loo will do!
When you twin your toilet, you get a certificate to hang in your loo, that says where your toilet is twinned with, and it even has its GPS coordinates so you can visit your toilet twin online.
So, why would you twin your toilet? The stark fact is that:
Women are vulnerable to snake bites and being sexually assaulted as they squat in the grass, probably late at night, at the edge of their community – as many cultures don’t allow women and girls to go to the toilet during the day!
So, why would you twin your toilet? The stark fact is that:
- 2 billion people in the world don’t have a decent, hygienic toilet.
- 1 billion people go to toilet out in the open
- 443 million school days are lost each year through children not having access to water and sanitation
Women are vulnerable to snake bites and being sexually assaulted as they squat in the grass, probably late at night, at the edge of their community – as many cultures don’t allow women and girls to go to the toilet during the day!

Ebinda lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo
She was 14 when she was attacked by a group of men as she went to the toilet one evening. Ebinda wasn’t far from home and her mum Bawili thought she would be safe, but Bawili knew instantly what had happened when Ebinda came running back crying, with bruises and scratches to her neck |
The charity Toilet Twinning is linked to Tearfund, a charity that provides sanitation and drinking water to some of the poorest communities in the world
