HOPE IMPROVES THE HYGIENE CONDITIONS OF THE PEOPLE IN SUJAWAL BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF TOILET

Community hygiene helps prevent infectious diseases from spreading throughout the neighborhood. Hygiene practiced regularly creates healthier communities. On a more global scale, community hygiene helps save lives of everyone by decreasing the spread of dangerous diseases such as diarrhea.

The primary cause of diarrhea is unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation and hygiene.
In addition, being the 21^st century many societies do not have access to toilets; people are using the bathroom outside in the open. This creates a dangerous environment, especially for children, who are often playing on the ground in these areas.

In places where people walk, pathogens causing diarrhea and other illnesses pass along feet and hands and eventually to food and mouths.

This is where HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan constructed a Toilet Located at Allah Dinno Mollah Goth, Sujawal. This toilet, benefits almost 50-60 houses in the vicinity, causing them great ease and solving their basic washroom problems.

Villagers claim these toilets have solved many problems. Alongside these there are also many handpumps installed by HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, where villagers are provided with clean, pure water. These toilets are constructed on a 5x5 sq foot.

Community hygiene combined with safe water and proper disposal of waste saves lives. Not only does community and environmental hygiene help protect young children, it reduces illness for everyone. Families are healthy and more productive. Children spend more time in school rather than recovering from illness.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, ensures that there are toilets and handpumps in all communities where HOPE has reached out to. So that people have easy access to clean drinking water and sanitation.
