What we do

The CLTS Foundation is an associate of professionals and practitioners focusing on rural and urban sanitation globally.

The Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach is spread across 70 countries in South and South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America. At least 35 countries have CLTS as part of their national policies.

CLTS Foundation strives to create a world free from open defecation.
