Background

Unbelievably, 1 in 6 people in the world don't have access to a toilet. Approximately 1 billion people are forced to go outside, in public, often waiting till night time when they have more privacy but when the risk of attack is much greater. Open defecation like this has catastrophic effects on the spread of life threatening diseases, school attendance and people's dignity.

Idea

Andrex®, in partnership with Unicef, highlighted the stark reality of the sanitation crisis for UK shoppers by bringing to life the situation for families in Angola. A bathroom store in Kings Cross was rigged with hidden cameras to capture the reactions of genuine shoppers as the store salesman brought them face to face with the rural Angolan scene. Together Andrex® and Unicef are helping to transform children's lives with an on-pack promotion. 25p from every sale of Classic White 9 roll will go towards Unicef's sanitation programme in Angola.
