Millennium Fellowship Project: The Environmental Sanitation (EnSa) project
EnSa Project stands for Environmental Sanitation Project.
This project is aimed at educating the population on the importance of keeping their surrounding clean, proper emptying of their wastes, discouraging littering, clearing out the bushes around their homes, cleaning their gutters and more. They would also be educated on how to properly dispose their wastes. This would improve the quality of living of the people, discourage environmental pollution and also prevent common diseases in the society like typhoid, dysentery and malaria which is the one of the main focus of this project. Malaria is one of the major killers especially in children under the age of 5 years and pregnant women and with proper prevention, the incidence can be reduced.
Some people do not know that ensuring appropriate sanitation would play a role in reducing the incidence of diseases and would reduce mortality which would also benefit the world at large. That is why this project is being carried out to prevent such diseases. The project would stress out the importance of good hygiene and sanitation and the steps would involve:
- Visit to rural areas to educate and create awareness on the importance of sanitation.
- Making of fliers and posters to further educate the community.
- Creating awareness on other social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and more.
- Provision of this rural areas with waste bins, brooms, dust pans, mopping sticks, buckets and other sanitation equipments and insecticide treated nets and insecticides to further prevent diseases like malaria.
