Improved sanitation means people have access to safe and hygienic toilets that keep human waste away from contact. These include systems like flush or pour-flush toilets connected to a sewer system, septic tank, or proper pit latrine, as well as ventilated improved pit latrines, pit latrines with a slab, or composting toilets. These types of sanitation help protect public health and the environment by safely managing waste.
