Shahjahan Bibi A Waste Management Champion and a Great Motivator for the Cleanliness of her Community

Living circumstances of refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh have led to a lack of proper solid waste management in most refugee camps, in return causing environmental and public health issues. In Hakim  Para Camp 14, UNICEF with its implementing partner BRAC initiated solid waste management activities through community engagement. This WASH Diary reflects the experiences of Shahjahan Bibi, a refugee woman and housewife whose support to the implementing teams was key to ensuring effective community engagement in hygiene-related behavioural practices in Suf Sutra Kora Sobai (Everybody is involved in cleaning).
