Sanitation

At Shivali Mahila Samaj Seva Sansthan, we believe that sanitation is the cornerstone of healthy living and a fundamental human right. Lack of proper sanitation facilities continues to be a major challenge in rural and tribal areas of Uttar Pradesh, affecting health, well-being, and dignity. As part of our mission to improve quality of life, we have developed a range of sanitation initiatives aimed at creating cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
Key Focus Areas:
1. Promoting Hygiene Awareness:
We conduct regular awareness programs in rural villages and tribal belts to educate people about the importance of personal hygiene, handwashing, and safe water practices. By involving community leaders, women’s groups, and local schools, we aim to foster a culture of cleanliness and hygiene.
2. Construction of Sanitation Facilities:
The organization collaborates with local authorities and stakeholders to construct toilets and sanitation units in underserved communities. We focus on building low-cost, eco-friendly toilets to reduce open defecation and improve public health. Special attention is given to ensuring that these facilities are accessible to women, children, and individuals with disabilities.
3. Access to Clean Water:
Access to clean drinking water is crucial for maintaining sanitation. We have initiated projects to install hand pumps, water filters, and rainwater harvesting systems in areas with limited water supply. Our goal is to ensure that every household has access to safe, potable water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.
4. Waste Management and Cleanliness Drives:
We organize regular cleanliness drives and waste management programs to maintain hygiene in public spaces, schools, and marketplaces. These activities involve local volunteers and focus on segregation of waste, composting, and proper disposal, thus reducing environmental pollution.
5. Menstrual Hygiene Management:
Recognizing the importance of menstrual health, we run menstrual hygiene awareness sessions and distribute sanitary kits to adolescent girls and women. We aim to break the taboo around menstruation and provide women with the necessary resources and knowledge to manage their menstrual health safely and with dignity.
6. Capacity Building and Training:
We conduct training workshops on best sanitation practices, targeting community health workers and volunteers. These training programs focus on teaching efficient methods for maintaining household cleanliness, safe food preparation, and effective waste disposal.
Impact and Vision:
Through our dedicated efforts, Shivali Mahila Samaj Seva Sansthan has seen significant improvements in community health and a reduction in cases of sanitation-related diseases. Our vision is to make sanitation a community-driven initiative, empowering people to take ownership of their environment and build healthier, cleaner, and more resilient communities.

Together, we are striving to achieve “Swasthya aur Swachhata,” a healthier and cleaner India, starting from the grassroots.
