Edukasi Sanitasi dan Kesehatan Lingkungan di SDN 119 Belalang Kelurahan Mataran

Abstract

Education about the environment is essential for fostering environmental awareness. This is not a talent or instinct, but rather the result of good education. Such awareness reflects how a person behaves toward their surroundings. Sanitation is one of the focuses of the sixth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Targets have been set for 2030, with the hope that all communities will have access to adequate sanitation and hygiene. This includes the safe management of human waste and good hygiene practices. Improving sanitation in schools is crucial for creating a healthy learning environment. Good sanitation practices are directly related to students' health and their academic performance. Interventions such as health education programs and handwashing habits can reduce health issues like malnutrition and dehydration among students. This community service aims to raise awareness among students about the importance of sanitation and environmental health, enabling them to change unhealthy lifestyles into healthy ones and apply these practices in daily life or activities.
