A special gift to girls on women’s day

Open defecation, which remains common problem in India, has many costly and terrible impacts on children and women’s life. Children’s attending schools are facing issues with open defecation in rural parts of bangalore and Karnataka. Children’s find difficult to attend schools due to this challenge especially in girl’s school. This is leading towards worse concentration and attendance among school children

Open defecation poses a serious threat to the health of children in India.Malnutrition in children is another health problem associated with open defecation.

Poor sanitation gives arise to a number of health problems.A practice that is linked to a host of conditions which hamper a child’s right to survive and thrive.

Inadequate sanitation facilities in schools massively affect girls’ dropout. Sanitation in schools has a strong negative impact on girls. Parents expect safe and separate sanitation for their daughters in schools.

Women and girls face shame and a loss of personal dignity and risk their safety.

Good sanitation practices are essential for reducing child morbidity, mortality and stunting.

We must therefore focus on innovative ways of communicating with and convincing people to adopt the habit of using a toilet. This can achieved by fostering social movements and creating the aspiration for every household to own and use a toilet. Children have a key role to play as agents of change in establishing this new norm.

A perfect start to International Women’s day 2019 as we gifted 2 more toilets to help the needs of the girls in a Government school of #Guleharavi in  Rural #Tumkur.
