What people say:

"Through Toilets Making the Grade, head teachers have been empowered and guided to appreciate that there are so many things that they can do at their level given the meagre resources they have. There has been general improvement in sanitation in the schools; toilets are now cleaner. There have been efforts in adherence to the operation and maintenance of these facilities. Schools can now make minor improvements on their own."

“Sanitation for Millions has significantly elevated the sanitation standards at our hospital, notably by providing dedicated staff/patients’ toilets which reduced the widespread open defecation. This has resulted in improved efficiency and prompt attention to patients' needs. The sanitary facilities have bolstered the hospital's reputation and instilled confidence in the general public. We express our sincere appreciation to Sanitation for Millions for their instrumental role in enhancing the hospital's integrity and ensuring better healthcare delivery.”
