Poo Without A Loo

Nearly half of India’s population defecates in the open, among the
highest proportions in the world.

Nearly 638 million Indians — half the world’s 1.1 billion people without
a toilet — live in India, according to a WHO-UNICEF report. 18% of urban
Indians and 69% of rural Indians don’t have access to toilets.

The report warned that public defecation is the “riskiest sanitation
practice of all” and contributes to serious intestinal diseases.
