‘Programs to create awareness among the people about safe sewerage and hygiene’
People have a very good idea about basic hygiene in Bangladesh. However, the most important part of cleanliness is not the habit of washing hands properly.
Of those surveyed, 59.1 percent said they washed their hands with soap and water at critical times.
Apart from Dhaka, no other city has a proper sewerage system. And even in the capital, only one out of every five people is under this system.
Only two out of every five families properly dispose of child excrement. However, if the excreta is not properly managed, there is a risk of illness, even death of the baby. One out of every four toilets made of mud holes is unhealthy and pollutes the environment as they do not have lids.
There is a direct link between bowel movements and diarrhea in children. Problems like diarrhea, intestinal inflammation and worms occur due to underdeveloped sewerage system. We want to make people aware of these issues.
