• No access to proper excreta disposal

facilities , or to simplify, no toilets

How does it affect the people?:• This usually happens to people in poorer communities

• These people usually have a shorter lifespan , because they

are more vulnerable towards bacteria, viruses and parasites

found in human waste .

• What these issues means is that they are more exposed

towards diseases such as cholera, typhoid and other

infectious diseases that kill millions of people every year.

pollution!

Who is Jack Sim?• Founder of World Toilet Organization (WTO)

his direction in life and give back to humanity – he

wanted to live his life according to the motto “Live a

useful life”.

• And so , He created a organisation which linked many

existing other similar organisations

Social Entrepreneur

So What has he done ? : • He started ' World Toilet Day ' , It was created to to

raise global awareness of the struggle 2.6 billion face

every day without access to proper, clean sanitation.

Social Entrepreneur

What else have he done? : • Jack founded the World Toilet College to provide high quality training in

Toilet Design, Maintenance, Cleanliness and Ecological Sanitation

Technologies. The college is a joint venture with the Singapore

Polytechnic.• He has now developed a SaniShop franchise model to teach the poor how

to produce and how to sell small affordable sanitation systems below U$40

per family with the support of Index Award, Rockefeller, Unilever and

Singapore Economic Development Board.

Social Entrepreneur :

What can we take away from him ?• While here we are in Singapore , with proper sanitation

everywhere . There really are many other places

without this privileges that we have (India , China

, Indonesia )

• Its not very likely that we will be embarking on such a

amazing journey like Jack Sim . We can still help in little

ways such as donating money to organisation which

can help , or even just spreading the awareness .
