What is Poor Hygiene?
Good sanitation and good hygiene protect us from many illnesses. In advanced countries, our sanitation is developing more and more. Especially, the Japanese toilet is always developing and I think the Japanese toilet is the best in the world!
But on the other hand, there is poor hygiene and poor sanitation in many countries.
Every day, over 2.5 billion people suffer from a lack of access to improved sanitation and nearly 1.2 billion practice open defecation, the riskiest sanitary practice of all.
What will happen to children??
One of the consequences of poor hygiene is unclean water. Usually we can drink tap water at our house because the water is clean. But many children don’t have clean water and are drinking dirty water. A child dies every 15 seconds from disease attributable to unsafe drinking water, deplorable sanitation and poor hygiene.
Many children (mainly girls) are forced to walk long distances for safe water, so they can’t go to school.
The world government thinks that if we can solve the water problem, almost all problems in the world will be solved.
Of course, poor hygiene is not only the water problem. If we don’t have good sanitation and people don’t know how to make themselves clean, they will get sick, too.
And many mothers (pregnant) lose their babies because of the poor hygiene.
In some countries they don’t have good hygiene for delivering new life. Some midwives cut the umbilical cord by using a fragment of grass. Of course the pregnant mother will get disease and also the baby also gets disease too.
This is happening in the world.,,
