Duration : 1 week , June 2019
Funded by : Laxminiya Rural Municipality- Dhanusha
Objective : To Create Awareness about Environment protection, Sanitation and Climate Change
The program aimed to raise awareness about environmental protection, sanitation and climate change in rural areas. As a result of the program, residents have become more knowledgeable about the importance of maintaining a clean environment and practicing good sanitation habits and what are the effect of climate change.
Several positive behavior changes were observed among the rural population. People now understand the importance of storing food and drinking water in containers that can be closed or covered, ensuring that these essentials remain clean and safe for consumption. They have also adopted the practice of using clean utensils or other items to handle food and water, further promoting hygiene.
In addition to these sanitation practices, the program also emphasized the importance of environmental conservation. Community members have started planting trees in vacant spaces, contributing to a greener and more sustainable environment. This initiative not only beautifies their surroundings but also helps combat environmental issues such as soil erosion and climate change.
Overall, the program has successfully instilled a greater sense of environmental, sanitation and climate change awareness among rural residents, leading to improved health and a more sustainable way of living.
