Diseases such as typhoid, malaria, cholera, hiv/aids, and dysentery are directly related to sanitation. We also can avoid disease by washing our hands after a bowel movement and avoiding contact with feces. If we intend to upgrade a village to a better quality of life, the first step is drilling a well for clean water and the second step is set up better sanitation. Providing toilets and an effective way to handle human waste that will eliminate the possibility of spreading disease.
