Toilets for All is a Swiss foundation which contributes to closing the huge gap in access to clean and dignified toilets for the world’s population (SDG 6.2), focusing on schools. We aim to achieve this goal through different collaborative actions, acting as an enabler for both entrepreneurs and funders, but also legislative organisations, select communities and government bodies, and focusing on the sector of circular off-grid sanitation for schools and related hygiene efforts. We believe that is where the highest impact can be made, with the greatest knock-on effect on other SDGs. An amazing 130 of 169 UN SDG targets have synergies with sanitation, find out more here.
