Hi! I'm so happy you want to know more. 

My name is Caity Cutter, and I happily attend Frankfurt International School in Oberusel, Germany, where I am currently in the 6th grade. I am incredibly fortunate to love school and have access to a wealth of opportunities beyond the basics. One of the most impactful programs at my school is the Changemaker program, which culminates in an annual conference. This program provided me with a platform to dedicate my time and energy to a charity I discovered in an unexpected place—at church.

​

In 2018, while at church, I noticed a certificate in a toilet cubicle stating that the toilet was "twinned" with one in Africa. Curious about what this meant, I researched and learned about Toilet Twinning, an organization that builds toilets for people in need around the world.

​

I was shocked to discover that 1.7 billion people in our global society lack access to a safe place to go to the toilet. This is something most of us take for granted, but for many, the absence of basic sanitation has severe repercussions. Watching a video on the impact of inadequate sanitation, especially on girls and women, opened my eyes to the harsh realities faced by many.

​

Motivated to make a difference, I set a personal challenge to twin 100 toilets, which I accomplished in just 8 months. Building on this success, I established a Service Club at my school, which is now working on building school toilet blocks. Additionally, I mentor other changemakers, focusing on broader issues of access to sanitation and hygiene. I'm extremely fortunate to be mentored by Prof Dr Jack Sim of the World Toilet Organisation.

The activity is aligned with the UN SDG goal 6 THE 17 GOALS | Sustainable Development (un.org) 

And to the WASH activities of the Gates foundation Water, Sanitation, & Hygiene | Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
