South Sudan is a young nation. Through education on the environmental damage caused by Open defecation, and by empowering communities to build their own pit latrines, Open defecation has been greatly reduced. There has also been a marked decrease in childhood stunting, since the reduction in water pollution means less children are getting sick.
