Poor sanitation is way more dangerous than many of us realize. Blocked drainages, improper waste disposal and dirty surroundings do not just affect how our communities look, they contribute to disease outbreaks, pollution, flooding, and environmental damage which in turn can affect fertile lands and water pathways.

Young people are not just at the frontline of misinformation; they are also at the forefront of the response to it. The same tools that can divide can also unite. The same networks that spread falsehoods can amplify truth. The difference is in how they are used.
