Adam Hart-Davis loves talking about toilets! You might have seen him on TV singing the praises of the humble loo, or perhaps you have come across one of his books about bogs.

He visited Bangladesh to find out more about water and sanitation problems there, and what WaterAid is doing to help.

On the trip he made a fab film called Splish Splash Flush which finds out why it's so important for all children to have clean drinking water and somewhere clean and safe to go to the toilet.

Adam also popped into Dedworth Green First School in England to investigate what kids in the UK know about sanitation, and to explain why it's just as important for children here to wash their hands and not pass on germs.

Teachers! The Splish Splash Flush DVD is available free to schools and youth groups. With a running time of 13 minutes, it's perfect for use in school assemblies or youth group meetings. For your copy please email schools@wateraid.org.
