Write an article about effects of poor sanitation

Poor sanitation, for example, contributes to over 500,000 child deaths from diarrhea every year. Half of all hospital visits in developing countries are a direct result of inadequate or non-existent sanitation.

The impact goes well beyond poor health. A lack of toilets is, for example, a contributor to girls missing school. Their absence also forces women and girls to go out at night with all the risks to their personal safety this brings.

But There is nothing glamorous about sanitation. Talking about faecal sludge can be something of a conversation stopper. The initial response when mentioning World Toilet Day is often a smile.

But lack of sanitation is not funny. It is a major cause of death and disease, and a serious, if too often ignored, barrier to development.

Have a beautiful blessed rest of your day God bless you!
