Question

Explain to spread the awareness of sanitation and hygiene in our daily life what can you do in your daily life

Answer 1

Worldwide, an estimated 2.6 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation. Proper sanitation and hygiene education can prevent the spread of disease― saving lives and protecting communities.

In areas where Episcopal Relief & Development and its partners work, communities often lack access to sanitation systems.  In most cases, latrines or other facilities are not available, leading residents to relieve themselves outdoors. Consequently, nearby streams and other water sources– which families use for drinking, bathing and other household uses – can quickly become contaminated, causing diarrhea and other common illnesses.

Since sanitation and hygiene practices are linked to preserving and promoting safe water, our approach addresses these issues holistically for a greater, more sustainable impact.   We support communities in constructing hand-washing stations and latrines. 

Our efforts are combined with community workshops on health and hygiene.  Through these workshops, people learn healthy practices that help to reduce the spread of malaria as well as diarrhea and other waterborne illnesses in communities.  In addition, proper waste management and garbage collection help to protect land and water.   All solutions are locally-driven, to ensure that the program fits in the context of each community.

Answer 2

In order to spread the awareness of sanitation and hygiene in our daily life, we can educate the people and make them aware of the problems which arise out of the issue. A session can be arranged every weekend so as to make the people acquainted about the ill effects of the problem of sanitation can have on the lives of the people. People need to understand the importance of health and hygiene so that they can live happily.
