Around the world, access to basic sanitation is improving, but there are still many countries where more than half of the population does not have access to a proper toilet in their own home. In 2020, these countries were located almost exclusively in Africa. Chad and Madagascar reported the lowest rates with only around 12 percent of the population having access to at least basic sanitation. Progress on the continent has been less than uniform, with North African and some Southern African countries now reaching satisfactory levels while most other nations are still far from it.
Basic sanitation is defined by the World Health Organization as a toilet that is not shared with other households and that is connected to sewage piping, a septic or composting tank or a pit, safely containing excrement.

In so, so, so much of the world, something similar to one of these is the standard -- take a look, and pause to consider exactly how blessed you are.........
