According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the percentage of households in Indonesia that own a toilet or private sanitation facility continues to increase.

In March 2021, only about 85% of households had a toilet for personal use.

After that, the number gradually rose, reaching 90% in March 2025. This means that approximately 10% of households still do not have their own toilet.

Furthermore, according to the Guidelines for Fostering Healthy Environmental Activities released by the Ministry of Health, one of the criteria for a healthy home is having a healthy toilet.

A healthy toilet is a facility for defecation that meets health standards and requirements, namely:

It does not cause the direct spread of materials harmful to humans due to human waste disposal; and
It can prevent disease-carrying vectors from affecting users and the surrounding environment.

To meet health standards, a toilet must have walls and/or a roof, a waste disposal hole with a gooseneck construction or another shape that can contain odors, a waterproof/non-slippery floor, and be equipped with a channel to a wastewater disposal system (SPAL).

"Healthy toilets must be built, owned, and used by families, placed in a location easily accessible to household members," said the Ministry of Health in its guidelines.
