How The Toilet Changed History

To us lucky humans, a toilet it is something we count on daily yet often forget how fortunate we are to have access too. Find out how the toilet changed history in this informative, eye-opening short video sponsored by Bill & Melinda Gates.

“We’re proud to collaborate with Bill and Melinda Gates for this week’s video! It may sometimes seem like things are getting worse, but there’s lots of reasons to be optimistic about the future. More people have access to toilets and sanitation than ever before. Thanks to public health improvements like this, since 1990, 122 million children’s lives have been saved. Diseases like polio are nearing eradication. Women have more access to health care and education than ever before.”

“But our work is not done. How can YOU help make the future better for the world’s poorest?”
