Olly Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I went to visit a client's office yesterday, and while I was there I asked to use the loo. I was surprised to see a framed photo in there, with the words 'This toilet is twinned with ...' and showing a picture of a rather dilapidated brick toilet block in Rwanda. I asked more, and it turns out that all their office toilets are 'twinned' with one in a poorer country, and they've even started giving 'twinning certificates' as corporate gifts, instead of wine or flowers. The website is here and it's backed by Tear Fund. I think this is a really great idea, I am going to see if I can persuade my place of work to do anything like this. It would be a great project for a school to raise money for. There's also some fun stuff on the website - take a look at the weird latrines!

Egluntyne Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 How marvellous. I am going to endeavour to get my workplace to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Fabulous! I can't see the men at work agreeing to it somehow - it took me 3 years to get them to have recycling bins under each desk... the MD still doesn't have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
