Leaders are those who not only lead or guide people but aspire and motivate them to be better professionally and personally as well.
In college, I became obsessed with the fact that almost half the global population didn't have access to clean water and basic sanitation which I see as a very serious problem yet solvable. According to water Aid, 14 millions Nepalese don't have access to sanitation. Every year 10,500 children die due to diarrhea in our country. Among communicable disease, 80% of the disease would be prevented by hand washing with soap and water.(Source: NLSS-2004, MoHP-2006, WHO, JHBSPH-2008, NEWAH HS Policy-2010). These facts further elicited my interest in water sanitation and hygiene.
I enrolled myself in public health and got an opportunity to visit various rural villages which further triggered my interest in this field. While discussing about health issues in rural community during my internship of college, few women came to us regarding their problems which were similar to the symptoms of uterus prolapse. We discussed the symptoms with health incharge of the village and came to conclusion recommending those women to health facilities. We conducted awareness session regarding uterus prolapse for the local female community female to adopt necessary preventive measure to avoid uterus prolapse. Later, health incharge of the village decided to conduct regular awareness session and screening for uterus prolapsed.
Every year 10,500 children die due to diarrhea in our country . While working as a WASH cluster officer , I aware people about diarrhea and hygiene practices lead open defecation free campaign (ODF) and declared ODF in 8 Village Development committees of 3 rural districts of Nepal through various triggering activities based on community led total sanitation strategy. Further post open defecation free strategy were developed and implemented in those VDC. We also lead clean house certification campaignin those areas to motivate and encourage people to adopt hygiene and sanitation practices to help the community people to prevent from waterborne communicable diseases.
