IMPORTANCE OF SANITATION
Sanitation is important for all, helping to maintain health and increase life-spans. However, it is especially important for children. Around the world, over 800 children under age five die every day from preventable diarrhea-related diseases caused by lack of access to water, sanitation and hygiene. The overall purposes of sanitation are to provide a healthy living environment for everyone, to protect the natural resources (such as surface water, groundwater, soil), and to provide safety, security and dignity for people when they defecate or urinate. Food safety and hygiene is important because it helps keep a workplace healthier , more productive and happier. A hygienic workplace is a healthier workplace. There is less sickness, and illness spreads more slowly. As a result, a hygienic workplace is also more productive. BACK TO CONTENT PANEL
