Inadequacy of Sanitation

What It means:• The lack of basic water

• No access to proper excreta disposal

facilities , or to simplify, no toilets

Page 3: Give A 'Shit'!

Inadequacy of sanitation

How does it affect the people?:• This usually happens to people in poorer communities

• These people usually have a shorter lifespan , because they

are more vulnerable towards bacteria, viruses and parasites

found in human waste .

• What these issues means is that they are more exposed

towards diseases such as cholera, typhoid and other

infectious diseases that kill millions of people every year.

Singapore Economic Development Board.

Social Entrepreneur :

What can we take away from him ?• While here we are in Singapore , with proper sanitation

everywhere . There really are many other places

without this privileges that we have (India , China

, Indonesia )

• Its not very likely that we will be embarking on such a

amazing journey like Jack Sim . We can still help in little

ways such as donating money to organisation which

can help , or even just spreading the awareness .
