“The simple act of washing hands with soap can cut the risk of diarrhea by 40 percent, and therefore reduce the rate of absenteeism at the workplace.”

Today, 10% of the world’s population does not have access to safe drinking water, one thirds of the world’s population lack access to improved toilets while 1 in every 8 people practice open defecation. At the work place, every US$ 1 invested in water and sanitation yields a return of US$ 4.3, through increased worker productivity and reduced absenteeism.
