Background/Project: In JitpurPhedi, access to proper health and sanitation facilities is often very limited and awareness of correct hygiene practices is low. We find Plastics, piece of papers, parts of vegetables, metals, glass, dust from indoor cleaning almost everywhere in the community. This project is designed to target women, youth and children of the community to raise awareness and provide training on correct health, importance of garbage disposal, Health hazards, Different methods of waste disposal management and hygiene practices and ensure every family has access to waste removal systems.
The community people do not utilize the idea of separating bio-degradable and non-biodegradable waste. They should be taught about waste segregation and disposing methods.
Objectives: To teach community people about solid waste management, to make community people aware of proper hygiene and sanitation, to prepare community people to follow appropriate methods of waste management, to collect scattered garbage in village and dispose it.
