Report- Visit to Sulabh International Museum of Toilets
24 July, 2015
“Child welfare ought really to cover all sorts of topics such
as better water and sanitation and good roads, and clean streets and public
parks and playgrounds.”
( Marjory Stoneman Douglas )
Keeping the above mentioned quote in mind, children of case i,
classes I - VI visited Sulabh International Museum of Toilets on 24th July.
Although the museum was very small and weirdest that children ever visited, but
it was a good place to learn something which is very basic but very useful.
The museum showcased the services rendered by Sulabh NGO in
environment sanitation, non- conventional sources of energy, waste management and
social reforms through education of the scavengers community in India. It also
had very interesting and unique collection of toilets from all over the world.
Children learnt the importance of hygiene and sanitation and
various low cost toilets being constructed by Sulabh in all over rural India
and some African nations. To quote an employee of the museum,”
After all having a clean and
proper toilet in a house is as important as having a well planned kitchen.”
