Need for

Sanitation
Low income communities which do not have adequate sanitation facilities are exposed to high risk of infection with excreta-related diseases. Childrens under 3 are particularly susceptible to diarrheal diseases. Older childrens and adults are likely to be infected with intestinal worms commonly the human roundworms and the human hookworms. 70% of india's population has no access to improved sanitation facilities. 5000,000 infants die annually because of poor sanitation facilities. India loses Rs. 5 billion every year in medical treatment and loss of work. 90% reduction in gastroenteritis in our completed projects compared to same villages earlier.
