World Toilet College: Singapore

WTO started the World Toilet College (WTC) in 2005 as a social enterprise in Singapore. To address the gap in education and training around sanitation topics, World Toilet College (WTC) was started as a social enterprise in Singapore in 2005 by World Toilet Organization, Singapore. It has been designed as an independent world body to develop curriculum, courses, workshops and best practices and standards in toilet design, maintenance, and sanitation practices and technologies.

​Through this, it aims to foster an enabling environment for government officials, WASH practitioners, nonprofit professionals, masons, professional toilet cleaners and end beneficiaries. to expand their knowledge and hence ensure the effective building and usage of toilets. It also serves as a platform to encourage knowledge-sharing amongst different networks. WTC Singapore offered needs-based customised training for the various segments in the sanitation domain.
