More people have cell phones than toilets, revealing a true shift in priorities and a serious need to get areas in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa plumbed. While there’s no exact number to my knowledge, it is estimated that nearly 8 billion (7.9) people have a mobile phone.

A number that’s mind boggling when you realize there are just 8.1 billion humans on the entire planet. Take that statistic and throw it against the fact that across the world, 1.5 billion people still do not have access to a toilet.

On any given day, more than 6% of people (over 1 out of 20) don’t have a toilet to sit on while using their phone.
