The next time you visit the sacristy toilet in St Joseph’s church you may notice a plaque evidencing that it is twinned with a latrine in Afghanistan.
The Bedford Park Rotary Club is involved in a project with a charity called Toilet Twinning and is aiming to make Bedford a toilet-twinned town. The club has raised £1,200 for this purpose and we have been chosen as a twinned toilet in support of this!
The charity’s aim is to improve sanitation in the developing world where this is a problem with a lack of clean water and poor sanitation. They work with non-government organisations who are providing education, guidance and support in developing countries advising on the location and building of sustainable toilets and blocks of toilets.
