This is an enlightened approach that deserves emulation by other governments. The initiative will help to raise public awareness of the need to improve sanitation and hygiene practices to cut back on the needless deaths and preventable diseases that can set back a country's development for decades. Putting households in the centre of environmental sanitation improvements will also lead to cost-effective improvements and minimize excreta disposal problems. On this World Day for Water, it is our hope that everyone, in all walks of life, will strive to do whatever is humanly possible, to end the shameful scandal that continues to degrade and afflict millions of people in the developing world, while threatening the state of our global health and environment.
