At the World Toilet Summit, Kathryn explained why there are two types of people in the world, this led to over 1-million accessible toilets being built in India. As a United Nations delegate, Kathryn met representatives from Kenya and learnt her advocacy and work had spread to Africa, impacting, and improving health outcomes of 50,000 people there. Speaking at the World Expo in Dubai, Kathryn demonstrated how sanitation impacts on mental health.
