The United Nations is leading a call to action on sanitation:
2.5 billion people worldwide lack access to basic sanitation.
Recognizing
that greater progress on sanitation is essential for fighting poverty
and disease, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson
has initiated, on behalf of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, a renewed
effort to drive progress on sanitation and water goals towards the 2015
target date of the Millennium Development goals and beyond.
To break the silence on open defection and improve sanitation for all, join the UN's call to action on sanitation.
