Founded by the UN-Water in 1993, this day is meant to raise awareness for issues related to the finite natural resource of water. Today this is more important than ever: about 2.2 billion people live without access to safe drinking water.

Today, on the 19th of November is the 20th World Toilet Day. It takes place since 2001 and was founded to draw attention to the missing access to safely managed sanitation for more than 4.2 billion people of the world population.
