According to UN data, billions of people
still do not have access to or have inadequate sanitation facilities. Every
second, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That is 1.5 million
preventable deaths each year. In the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, Sustainable
Developmental Goal (SDG) 6 aims to provide access to adequate and equitable
sanitation and hygiene for all. In the Philippines, 23%
of Filipinos, or roughly 19 million still do not have access to sanitary
toilets. These realities necessitate tangible and collective efforts that will
address the problem.
With the presented reality, this challenged the team to
thrive and develop a program designed to address the health problem. Improving
toilet sanitation will help the barangay ultimately meet national standards.
Through collaboration, the team together with the community was able to
formulate a goal of 100% households with sanitary toilet facilities. By
focusing on the most essential actions for achieving the goal, this will help the
residents become more effective at providing a healthy environment and
ultimately become self-reliant.
