The study shows, more people in the world have phones than toilets, and guess what we need more?
Sanitation and health have been a long-running topic around the world. Many countries, including our own, face the grave issue of not having enough toilets for people to use. This creates concerns in so many levels.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was created and toilets were just one of the issues on their list.
Every day, thousands of children are affected because we have not created proper systems. The unhygienic environment not only affects the people living in and around that area but create conditions for new diseases to exist. It gives life to a vicious cycle that will become very difficult to break after a while. It already is affecting our world.
Poor hygiene leads to a lot of troubles – diseases, fatalities, and even the mere invasion of privacy that we as humans deserve. We have had brilliant movies such as “Toilet Ek Prem Katha” bringing the glaring realities to our homes. Today, the conversation is out in the open. There is an increase in awareness.
As citizens of this country, and the world, it is our responsibility to increase the awareness for clean toilets. Additionally, we need to encourage people to start using these toilets.
Change is always difficult, and is always met with resistance. The idea is to keep at it so we can create a clean and beautiful world.
This World Toilet Day, we must all strive to do what we can. Donate to the nearest NGO, educate your help, or just rally to construct new toilets in your area! Every little attempt counts. Every step counts!
