Did you know that each day people are dying because of a lack of basic sanitation?

According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, one in three people lack access to a toilet, open defecation still exists for ten percent of the population and women and girls spend 266 million hours a day trying to find a safe and discreet place to go.

The result? Hygiene-related diseases, like diarrhea, account for one million deaths annually.

Enter the KOHLER pour-flush toilet, an affordable seated toilet that flushes when water is poured in by the user. 

“We like the KOHLER toilet because it is designed to be practical in its installation,” remarked Hector Chacon, Water Mission’s country director in Honduras. Moreover, individuals take great pride in the aspirational design and working to improve general sanitation issues. 

One customer described why she chose the KOHLER pour-flush toilet, “The toilet uses little water to flush. It is easy to clean and very nice looking. We are old and the sitter is very comfortable—it helps us with our knee pains.”
