IWRM Asia 2012: Opening session announced!
19 Jan 2012
The Resource Alliance is delighted to announce that Jack Sim will be delivering a keynote speech during the opening. Jack will be sharing lessons learned through his incredible journey to inspire organisations working to mobilise support both locally and on a global scale.
Jack's key note address is titled 'How to Get Almost Everything for Free'
Jack Sim broke the global taboo of toilet and sanitation by bringing it to the global media centre stage with his unique mix of humour and serious facts. Through RAS, Jack’s vision was to put Singapore on the “world map” by taking the initiative to provide clean public toilets.
Jack founded the World Toilet Organization (WTO) in 2011 and declared its founding day of 19 November as World Toilet Day, now celebrated worldwide each year towards improving the state of toilets and sanitation globally. Since its inception, WTO organized ten World Toilet Summits and two World Toilet Expo and Forum straddling Singapore, Seoul, Taipei, Beijing, Belfast, Moscow, New Delhi, Macau, Shanghai, Bangkok, Philadelphia, and Hainan.
Today, WTO is a growing network of 235 organizations in 58 countries.
