Access to WASH is a pre- condition for people to acquire good health, well being and even benefit economically. Vulnerable people: Women, children and marginalized communities. The disease burden from unsafe WASH is estimated at the global level taking into account various diseases outcomes , principally diarrheal diseases.

3. Statement of problem WASH are linked to many diseases that kill children or stunt their development including helminths infection, trachoma, cholera, fluorosis and Arsenicosis. Diarrheal morbidity rates are increasing. Water sanitation and hygiene related sickness put severe burdens on health services and keep children out of school. About 2.1 billion people use contaminated drinking water putting them at the risk of contacting Cholera, dysentery, typhoid.

14. Conclusion According to the study, still 5% of the respondent used Kacha latrine in Srinagar due to lack of money, and don’t know about the government schemes . As per the study, 50% respondents reported sweet food intakes and 15% marked polluted water as a cause of worm to children. 10% respondent informed that they don’t know the reason of worm to children. The responses of mothers, indicate their low level of knowledge on causes of helminths to children. If we look at the educational status 5%of the respondents are illiterate and 30% respondents can sign , besides the mean income of the respondents are 10000Rs. only. This low profile of education and income makes barriers in accessing proper knowledge on wash and also practicing good hygiene in the family. This study reveals that hygiene, especially behavioural change, receives limited attention in traditional interventions. The success of any hygiene promotion effort involves changing habitual practices. Hand washing with soap after defecation, before eating, after cleaning children’s bottoms, before feeding children, and before serving food has a great impact on people’s health. For many years, people were not aware of the necessity of washing hands with soap . They did not know that improper and lack of hand washing can cause many diseases. This situation has improved and the number of people who are washing their hands with soap is increasing. Hand washing has become important hygiene behaviour.
