MSP Alasdair Allan is backing a toilet twinning initiative, run by Tearfund.
The programme seeks to support those living in poverty, by working to give communities access to a proper latrine, clean water and vital information around sanitation.
According to the World Health Organisation, 2.3 billion people don’t have a proper
the toilet -
Almost 1,000 children die every day from preventable diseases linked to dirty water and unsafe toilets.
Dr Allan’s Stornoway parliamentary office toilet has been twinned with a newly built one in Malawi.
The Isles MSP said:“I’m very happy to back such a simple, yet life changing programme. Hearing of toilet twinning’s work, I was really keen to twin my constituency office toilet with one in a community which doesn’t have access to something that we all take for granted.
“Anyone can support this great scheme by donating £60 to twin your toilet, and I would encourage anyone who can to do so.”
