In Gujarat, India, Nagal Behen Cholas has recently constructed a toilet and washing area which she shares with her son, daughter-in-law and young grand-daughter. Nagal Behen and her family decided to construct a toilet for themselves after they learnt about the importance of safe sanitation in community meetings organised by the Aga Khan Planning and Building Services (AKPBS).
