STONEY CREEK, ON — One in every 11 people worldwide doesn’t have access to a toilet, says new GFA World report. A global humanitarian organization is helping combat the world’s “stinkiest” health emergency — people defecating in the open — a new report reveals.

Gospel for Asia (GFA World)is installing thousands of toilets in some of the world’s remotest and least developed areas — places where people typically relieve themselves in the bushes, by the local river, or in the street.

It’s part of a global effort to curb deadly diseases spread by people practicing open defecation, known as OD, says the agency’s new report Taking the Toilet Challenge (http://www.gfa.ca/special-report).

OD spreads cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, typhoid and leads to chronic diarrhea — killing millions of children worldwide every year.

Up and Running: 32,000 Toilets

So far, Gospel for Asia (GFA World) has helped install more than 32,000 toilets in OD-prone locations across Asia.

“For millions around the world, the humble toilet is the best gift they can imagine,” said K.P. Yohannan, founder of the Gospel for Asia (GFA World) organization that helps millions across Asia and has just launched projects in Africa. “Giving people the most basic necessities of life is one way of sharing God’s love with them.”
