Nedostatak toaleta u ruralnoj Indiji predstavlja veliki, smrdljivi problem. On vodi do vode lošeg kvaliteta, koja je jedan od glavnih uzročnika zaraza u Indiji i ima neproporcionalno negativan uticaj na žene. Džo Madijat predstavlja program koji bi seljanima pomogao da pomognu sebi, tako što grade sisteme za čistu, zaštićenu vodu i kanalizaciju i tako što zahteva od svih u selu da sarađuju - sa značajnim prednostima, za zdravlje, obrazovanje i čak i vladu.

Bolji toaleti, bolji život

Unsafe sanitation causes 80 percent of disease in rural India, where 70 percent of people defecate outdoors and women shoulder the burden of fetching water. By building toilets, showers, and 24-hour water supply in over 1,200 villages, a community-driven approach has slashed waterborne illness by 82 percent. This movement goes beyond infrastructure, restoring dignity and opportunity, especially for women and the poorest families. Collective action transforms health, boosts school attendance, and gives villagers real control over their future.
