Give2Asia, a US-based public charity promoting transformative philanthropy for Asia, today announces a new fiscal sponsor partnership with World Toilet Organization (WTO), a Singapore-based nonprofit that promotes health and sanitation for all people across the globe.

UNICEF estimates a staggering 2.6 billion people in the world lack access to proper sanitation. Diarrhea, linked with open defecation, kills at least 5,000 children every day.
