Antwerp Port pitches in on "World Toilet Day"
Today, 19 November, is World Toilet Day when attention worldwide focuses on the 2.6 billion people who do not have access to sanitary facilities, and on the 768 million who do not have access to drinkable water. Antwerp Port Authority is eager to contribute towards solving this global problem, and so in collaboration with various Flemish partners it is committed to a project in the African country of Benin. As part of the Millennium Development Goals to provide greater access to drinkable water and sanitation by 2015, Flanders is participating in a number of projects, including one in the region of South Benin.
