"What is World Toilet Day all About?
Toilets save lives, because human waste spreads killer diseases. World Toilet Day is about inspiring action to tackle the global sanitation crisis.
World Toilet Day is celebrated on 19th November every year. It’s all about inspiring action to tackle the global sanitation crisis and help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which promises sanitation for all by 2030. World Toilet Day 2019 is drawing attention to those people being left behind without sanitation
2019 Theme: Leaving No One Behind
A toilet is not just a toilet. It’s a life-saver, dignity-protector and opportunity-maker. Whoever you are, wherever you are, sanitation is your human right. And yet, today, 4.2 billion people live without safely managed sanitation. How can anyone lift themselves out of poverty without sanitation? We must expand access to safe toilets and leave no one behind.
What is 'Safely Managed Sanitation'?
When someone has a 'safely managed sanitation service', it means they use hygienic toilet facilities that are not shared with other households and where excreta are either separated from human contact and safely disposed of in situ or transported and treated off-site, thereby protecting people and the environment from disease agents. Examples include flush/pour flush toilets connected to piped sewer systems; septic tanks or latrine pits; ventilated improved pit latrines; composting toilets; or pit latrines with slab covers.
Key facts:
4.2 billion people live without safely managed sanitation – more than half the global population.
673 million people still practise open defecation worldwide.
Inadequate sanitation is estimated to cause 432,000 diarrheal deaths every year and is a major factor in diseases such as intestinal worms, trachoma and schistosomiasis.
297,000 children under five are estimated to die each year from diarrhea as a result of unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene.
Children under the age of five living in countries affected by protracted conflict are, on average, nearly 20 times more likely to die from diarrheal diseases caused by a lack of safe water, sanitation and hygiene than by direct violence.
Loss of productivity to water- and sanitation-related diseases costs many countries up to 5% of GDP..."

availability of replacement parts and complexity or repairs.
On a related note, my brother and his wife had their bathroom remodelled
about 10 years ago. SiL insisted on the sink her friend talked her into.
It is nice looking. It is rectangular, with straight sides and a level
bottom. it looks nice. I had to wash my hands in it after helping with
a really dirty job there. It was more work to clean the sink out after
than it had been to clean all that greasy, gritty stuff off my hands
because flat bottomed sinks don't drain.

bathroom sink and vanity top are molded together in one piece. Very
easy to clean.

As far as your brother's sink goes, it sounds pretty classy. My guess is that the sink isn't really flat, but slightly concave. With a design like that, the installation would be critical to make sure everything is level. I'd make it slightly off level so that the water flows towards the drain.

could give me one even if it were free. I can't prove it, but I bet mold
would easily form at the outside base of a vessel sink if you didn't keep
it spotless and bone dry.
My sink and vanity top are all one piece and I just love it. Easy as pie
to keep clean and when I remodeled my bathroom two years ago I opted for
a banjo sink/countertop. Fantastic as far as I'm concerned!

One bathroom has the molded one piece. The other has two under mount.

A banjo sink I presume is for deliverence hilly billys. LOL
Our main bathroom has a one piece molded sink over the vanity, has a
large oval basin, was here from the last owners, a very nice set up
but it had a cheap American Standard faucet that constantly needed
washers replaced.... changed it to a lovely washerless Koler faucet.
We remodled the second bathroom and installed a pedistal sink with the
same Kohler faucet... that bathroom has a washer and dryer rather than
a tub. That bathroom has the best seat in the house:

much like an old timey wash bowl (and the cabinetry under it is an
antique vanity/wash stand) . The whole setup is very late-1800's . Goes
well with the claw foot tub ...

1920's bathrooms seriously lacking in counter space. This picture is very,
very similar to mine.

Older homes had the 5-gallon tank toilets and when you remodel and put in a
1 1/2 gallon flush toilet the tank sits several inches away from the back
wall. A banjo countertop solves that problem and gives more continuous
countertop storage. But now they've come up with a gizmo flange that allows
you to use the existing waste pipe without moving it and allows the new toilets
to sit back against the wall like the old water hog 5 gallon models.

How about a simple latch? One that requires thumbs to operate.
