Improving sanitation and building more toilets could save millions of lives around the world. More than 2.7 million people die each year due to lacking sanitation, said Catarina de Albuquerque, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation.
Only one in three people worldwide have access to suitable toilet facilities, while more than one billion people still defecate in the open. Each year, children miss a total of 272 million school days due to water-borne or sanitation-related diseases.
