Sanitation is a fundamental aspect of public health and community well-being. Unfortunately, many communities, particularly in rural areas and developing regions, face significant challenges in maintaining adequate sanitation facilities and practices. Poor sanitation contributes to the spread of diseases, compromises environmental integrity, and hampers socio-economic development. Therefore, it is imperative to implement comprehensive sanitation projects to address these issues effectively.
