Namibia’s sanitation crisis

This still happens at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century! A stark example and reminder of government failure and lack of a functioning civil society and initiative!

"... From the outskirts of cities to the most rural parts of the country, over 1 million Namibians lack adequate access to toilets, and they are often faced with only one option: open defecation.

According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF’s Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) 2020 data, Namibia ranks sixth for highest rates of open defecation in the world at 47%. Less than half of the country’s 2.5 million citizens use facilities that safely separate waste from human contact, while some 5% use inadequate facilities such as open pits, buckets and hanging latrines. ..."

‘Not the Kind of Life a Human Being Should Live’ | Pulitzer Center Namibia ranks the worst for sanitation coverage in southern Africa. Over 1 million Namibians, nearly half the country, lack adequate access to toilets. They are often faced with only one option: open defecation. As human feces seep into the ground, crops are contaminated alongside vital water sources used for drinking, cooking, and fishing. Namibians risk rape, robberies and even wildlife attacks as they are forced to seek the privacy of the bush. Attempts by the government to provide this basic human right have thus far been largely unsuccessful.
