Safe Sanitation

The Sanitation Issue

  • The practice of open defecation not only poses health risks but also undermines human dignity and contributes to the spread of diseases.
  • The practice of open defecation not only poses health risks but also undermines human dignity and contributes to the spread of diseases.
  • The link between unsafe water and poor sanitation and the prevalence of diseases is undeniable. Many preventable diseases, such as diarrhea, cholera, and waterborne infections, are caused by contaminated water sources and inadequate sanitation practices.

By addressing the sanitation challenges faced by Cambodia and other countries, we can create healthier, more dignified, and more prosperous societies. Efforts to provide safe and clean sanitation facilities are essential for improving public health, supporting education, and breaking the cycle of poverty.
