Sanitation Updates 
lack of access to proper sanitation is on of the leading exposures to health risks to people of low income on the African continent and Uganda in particular. its very difficult for poor people to save a shilling since most of their family members are often sick of poor sanitation related diseases. Its my request to the national governments in Africa to join efforts and attention to act now to step up sanitation in all African homesteads and public places to remove the barrier to our peoples economic growth due to poor sanitation related disease burden and treatment cost implications.All development sympasizers for Africa should support sanitation and Hygiene promotion Iniatives for sustainable social economic development in poorest regions of the world.
Let the whole world unite to promote Sanitation and Hygiene in poorer NATIONS for economic empowerment of the poor.
