In 2012 heavy rains caused flooding in Sierra Leone that washed out the simple latrines, and meant a cholera outbreak that made 25,000 people ill.<\/li>\n<li>Trachoma is a disease that causes blindness, and is carried by a fly that breeds exclusively on human excrement. Toilets for everyone would mean less blindness, to the tune of 1.2 million fewer blind people.<\/li>\n<li>If there are no toilets, this means doing one&#8217;s business outside. Women need to travel a fair way to relieve themselves, and put them at risk of sexual violence. More toilets, safer women.<\/li>\n<li>Can you imagine being a teenage girl with no private restrooms at your school? Not likely. Private toilets increase female school attendance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re interested in knowing what this has to do with Bill and Melinda Gates, or for an article with links to many of the issues listed above, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/41334-5-ways-toilets-change-world.html\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/41334-5-ways-toilets-change-world.html\">Live Science<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toilets are great aren&#8217;t they?
