Breaking the Cycle: The Impact of Hygiene Deficiencies on the Health of the Poor
Abstract: Poor sanitation and hygiene present significant health risks, particularly for individuals in low- income communities. Inadequate sanitation systems increase the likelihood of exposure to harmful microorganisms found in contaminated water, food, and environments. This exposure contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, along with various gastrointestinal illnesses. Limited access to clean water and soap for handwashing exacerbates these risks, particularly for children, who are …
