Olonga teams up with Toilet Twinning charity

henry_olongaLONDON - World-class cricketer Henry Olonga (pictured) has teamed up with an organisation building toilets in developing countries.

Toilet Twinning offers the opportunity for people to pay 60 to twin their toilet with one in the developing world.

A spokesman from the organisation said: In return, you get a framed certificate with a picture of your twin and its GPS coordinates (so you can look it up on Google Maps) and a family in Burundi gets its own latrine and benefits from community projects to supply clean water.

Its astounding what a difference a simple latrine and clean water can make, impacting a persons health, dignity and ability to earn a living.

Olonga, whose career was cut short by his public protest against Mugabes rule, said: Having grown up in Zimbabwe I appreciate what a precious resource water is. Toilet Twinnings work really does make a difference for those living without the basics of clean water and decent sanitation that we take for granted in the UK. – www.toilettwinning.org to twin your loo.
