BPW International

Wow, can you believe it? Every 14 seconds a child under the age  of 5 dies from diarrhea. Another incomprehensible figure: 2.6 billion  people do not have access to proper sanitation. But you can do something  about that!
Be TOILET LADY for a day!

Collect a few cents (or  more) for every time you or your family members go to the bathroom.  Donate the proceeds of the day to Women for Water. It is a partnership of  women's organizations worldwide that work together in order to ensure  safe drinking water, proper sanitation and higher hygienic standards,  especially in the developing world. Great cause, don't you agree? So.  pull an old saucer from your kitchen cupboard, put it somewhere near  the bathroom and. start collecting coins!
Oh, and please make sure  you spread the word. Via Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in,  Email, SMS. whatever. Including the blog address www.toiletlady.org would  also be a good thing. Thanks for your efforts!
Just imagine the  amount of 'lavatory attendants' in homes all over the world by tomorrow.
Are you a real life lavatory attendant or janitor, or are you in  the hotel or catering industry? Great! You probably have pole position  then for raising money for Women for Water. Having an office job  shouldn't deter you from joining in, though.

Best  regards,

Women for water Partnership, A 'toilet  lady', 19th November  2011

P.S. November 19th is World Toilet Day (no really, just Google  it), THE opportunity to become 'toilet lady' for a day. Go to  www.toiletlady.org, download the little document for people visiting the  bathroom and you are good to go. By the way, the blog also tells you how  to donate the proceeds of your efforts or directly. And you can  respond to posts. Will you let me know if you join me and my fellow  'toilet ladies'?  Great!
