WaterAid introduces public toilet access cards
Through this card, WaterAid will provide a group of marginalised people with free access for water and toilet facilities in any of the 29 public toilets it has constructed
WaterAid today launched public toilet access cards, distributing them amongst a group of marginalised people near the Gabtoli inter-district bus terminal public toilet – one of its first public toilets in Dhaka.
This was done in collaboration with Dhaka North City Corporation, Dustha Shathya Kendra (DSK) and the Gabtoli inter-district bus terminal public toilet management committee.
Through this card, they will provide a group of marginalised people with free access for water and toilet facilities in any of the 29 public toilets that WaterAid, in collaboration with both Dhaka city corporations, have constructed over the past five years.
