Introduction to Karachi Karachi is a big city in Pakistan, and it’s the largest one there. It sits near the ocean, called the Arabian Sea. Lots of people—more than 14 million—live here, making it a very busy and important place.
- People from different backgrounds—different languages, traditions, and cultures—live together here. It’s like a mix of many things.
- Because it’s close to the sea, Karachi does a lot of trading and business. That’s why it’s a big deal in Pakistan.
- Sometimes it’s hot, sometimes not so much! That’s because of its spot by the sea. There are lots of tall buildings and some really old places too. It’s a mix of new and old stuff.
- People from different parts of Pakistan live here, and that makes it a diverse and colourful city. But sometimes, there are too many people, and things like roads and buildings can’t keep up.
- Because so many people live close together, there are problems like trash and not enough clean places to live.
- Knowing about Karachi helps us understand how special and busy it is. Now, let’s talk about one big problem people here face: keeping things clean and safe for everyone
Factors Contributing to Unhygienic Conditions in Karachi 1. Overcrowding and Population Density:
- Rapid urbanization has led to high population density, causing overcrowding in many areas.
- Overcrowding stresses existing infrastructure, making it difficult to maintain cleanliness.
2. Inadequate Waste Management Systems:
- Karachi faces challenges in waste collection, disposal, and recycling.
- Insufficient garbage collection services and inadequate waste treatment facilities contribute to unhygienic conditions.
3. Lack of Proper Sanitation Facilities:
- Clean and accessible toilets are lacking, especially in densely populated areas or informal settlements.
- Inadequate sanitation facilities lead to unhygienic practices, impacting public health.
4. Water Pollution and Contamination:
- Sources of water pollution include industrial waste, inadequate sewage treatment, and contamination of water bodies.
- Water pollution contributes to health hazards and unclean living conditions for residents.
Effects of poor sanitation Effects of Poor Sanitation in Karachi

- Breathing Issues: Breathing in dirty air from trash or factories can cause coughing and breathing problems.
- Skin Troubles: Living in dirty places can make skin itchy or cause rashes. 2. Harm to Nature:
- Dirty Water and Nature: Trash in water makes it dirty for fish and other animals. It’s not safe for people either.
- Dirty Ground: When trash goes into the ground, it makes soil dirty. It can make plants sick and not grow well.
3. Living Problems:
- Too Many People in One Place: Some places have too many people and not enough clean spaces. This makes it easier for sickness to spread.
