LIXIL-UNICEF partnership improves sanitation and hygiene for 12.7 million people

Partners will extend the collaboration for three years, seeking to further strengthen sanitation markets in Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania.

TOKYO/GENEVA – LIXIL and UNICEF announced the extension of their partnership until 2027, with the aim of expanding and intensifying efforts in six countries to reach more communities with safe, clean toilets and hygiene solutions.

Over the past five years, the collaboration has resulted in a significant increase in the availability and affordability of safe sanitation in Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania, with 12.7 million people gaining access to basic sanitation¹ and hygiene.

Every day, 1,000 children under the age of five die from diseases linked to unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene. Thanks to our partnership with LIXIL, many communities are not only more aware of the benefits of improved sanitation², they are also more likely to be able to invest in improved toilets and sanitation services.
