Customized poop emoji for you, for me and for everyone you love.
November 19 is World Toilet Day and it’s right around the corner.
This is a whole day dedicated to highlighting the sanitation crisis that affects 2 billion people in the world --that is nearly seven times the U.S. population!
While talking about toilets and everything that comes with them is not a thrilling subject for many, it is an important one. To open up the conversation we launched the Give A Sh*t app, nearly three years ago and now, we’re bringing it back! The app lets you create customized emojis while raising awareness of the global sanitation crisis.
Customize and create!

More about the sanitation crisis
Almost one in three people globally –2 billion – do not have a reliable toilet of their own. Access to reliable sanitation is a basic human right that protects people from dangerous diseases and provides dignity.
For girls and women, the lack of toilets also affects their privacy and safety – they often wait until dark to find a quiet place to defecate, which increases the risk of being harassed or even sexually attacked.
Without toilets in schools, children are left to do their necessities out in the open. This makes them vulnerable to diarrheal illnesses and causes them to miss class, holding them back from realizing their full potential.
Together, we can make a bigger difference. With governments, development partners, utility companies, community-based organizations, businesses and entrepreneurs, and local people, we work every day to improve people’s access to sanitation.
