JAKARTA, KOMPAS —  The habit of defecating anywhere happens especially due to the fact that the location of houses cannot be equipped with sanitation facilities and the absence of funds to build toilets.

Head of Neighborhood Community (RW) 002 Muhammad Rosyid has been dealing with sanitation management in his area for 9 years. A number of residents in RW 002 of Duri subdistrict live along a water channel that is about 2 meters wide. This has happened since the 1980s.
