Most rural people in India, both men and women, defecate in the open; they are seen squatting by the side of the road. India’s high rate of open defecation takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year. Children lose their lives to diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases. Children who defecate in the open have the tendency to catch diseases sooner than children who use latrines; these children are weak and are unable to grow to their full physical and cognitive potential. Although many people who defecate in the open think it is harmless, or maybe even good for them, they are wrong: the negative consequences of open defecation are a very big deal and can take their lives because of the diseases it causes. Also, women need privacy and extra hygiene to protect themselves from various infections. Therefore, it has become necessary to design and develop a low-cost, simple, and hygienic sanitation system. Educating people about the importance of good sanitation for their health and well-being is very important.
