As a public restroom advocacy group founded in Portland, Oregon in 2006, we have achieved our original goal of increasing toilet availability in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood. In our small downtown area there are now five locations, three 24/7, serving 2000 users a day.
Our new focus is ecosan research and development appropriate for a city renowned for its urban planning and commitment to sustainability. Specifically, we are working with partners to find alternatives to the environmentally dangerous chemical porta potties used at arts and sporting events. We support partners prototyping portable waterless urinals and composting toilets with research, information,marketing, advocacy, and support for regulatory and code change.

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. They have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes them unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.
They believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path.
