\"\"<\/a>Three Members of Soroptimist International St Albans and District, the local branch of the global women’s organisation, were delighted to present Sub Dean Abi Thompson with four framed Toilet Twinning<\/a><\/strong> Certificates for the new toilets at St Albans Cathedral<\/a>. <\/strong>Pictured here in the hand washing area of the lovely new loos with Abi are, l to r,\u00a0 Jane Slatter, Jean Eaton and Barbara Saunders.<\/p>\n

By donating \u00a360 to the Toilet Twinning Charity<\/strong><\/a> to twin each of the toilets, it helps fund a project in a poor community that will enable families to build a basic toilet, have access to clean water and learn about hygiene \u2013 a vital combination that saves lives. Often girls can’t go to school because of lack of toilets, a situation that Members of Soroptimist International all over the world are working to address. Myanmar, Pakistan, Sierra Leone and Zambia were picked to twin with and the certificates for each location will now be hung in the loos to inspire others to join in and support this revo-loo-tionary initiative! The certificate includes a photograph of the overseas toilet twin and the GPS coordinates so you can look up the twin’s location on Google Maps! \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Abi Thompson, Sub Dean of St Albans Cathedral was thrilled and said “what a great idea – we are so pleased you chose the new toilets at St Albans Cathedral to receive these certificates and we hope it will encourage more people to support the charity. The lack of safe and private toilet facilities for girls and women in some parts of the world is an incredibly important issue. We are very glad at St Albans Cathedral to be able to draw attention to this problem, and hope that our involvement with the Soroptimist\u2019s toilet twinning project will inform lots of our visitors of this great need in many countries across the world.”<\/div>\n
