Clean toilets, germ-free communities by Domex - World Toilet Day 2014

Clean toilets, germ-free communities

Organizations around the world are working on providing communities with access to clean water. In partnership with Unilever Philippines and Domex, I am supporting the World Toilet Day 4th year Anniversary and Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. The video below produced by Unilever Philippines shows the arrival of clean toilet facilities in a remote area in the country. 

"The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand Manager.

Community welcomes arrival of clean toilets in “Fiesta” video 


"World Toilet Day is a global observance and not a public holiday."

The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to conscientiously maintain their own hygienic bathrooms. For every pledge received, Domex will donate P5 to UNICEF’s sanitation program, towards improving access to basic sanitation in deprived areas around the world, including the Philippines.

You can contribute to the One Million Clean Toilets Movement by watching the “Fiesta” video and by inviting your friends to watch it. Share the Domex Fiesta video to your friends now!

Let’s practice proper toilet hygiene. Pledge your support to the #1MCleanToilets movement and help save lives. #WorldToiletDay #BrightFuture
