Growing up in a clean and safe environment is every child’s right. Access to clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices not only keeps children thriving, but also gives them a healthier start in life. Poor human waste management and sanitation lead to significant health and environmental impacts. Various diseases can arise from these practices, particularly bacterial and parasitic infections. Hence, this Sanitation Program aims to promote hygienic and proper management of human excreta and domestic wastewater

Many children around the world live in conditions that make it difficult to maintain good hygiene. Where homes, schools and health centres have dirt floors; where water for handwashing is unavailable; and even where families share spaces with domestic animals; maintaining hygiene can be a challenge. What’s more, practicing good hygiene is often perceived as a woman’s responsibility, adding to her burden of care.
