Community sanitation means the work we do to keep our environment clean. Sanitation means keeping clean and neat .
We must live in a healthy, clean environment. There are some activities we need to do in order to live in a clean environment.
We must sweep our surroundings and remove the dirty things by taking them away or burning them.
Traditional ways of community Sanitation
Most traditional sanitation programmes provide some form of subsidy to individual families to reduce the cost of building a toilet. This approach is based on the assumption that both the construction and use of toilets depend on private decisions and on hygiene behaviour at the household level.
