Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, with over 35% of the population living below the poverty line. Access to proper health and sanitation facilities is often very limited and awareness of correct hygiene practices is low. Only 46% of the population has access to toilets, leaving 54% to practice open-air defecation. A baseline survey conducted by VIN indicated that 26% of the Jitpur Phedi communities are illiterate, Hygiene awareness and access to health and sanitation facilities is also very low, with VIN and community estimates suggesting that around 350 out of 10033 households do not have access to a permanent toilet and low standards of hygiene contributing to high instances of gastrointestinal and other illnesses.

VIN intends to achieve "stool-free" (Open Defecation Free) status for Jitpur Phedi, with each family having access to and being motivated to use a toilet. The implementation of the Stop Open Defecation Campaign is expected to generate a significant improvement in the health and sanitation conditions of the community, observable as a reduction in the occurrence of sickness within the community and an improved quality of life. In this time, VIN has supported the building of over 200 toilets in Jitpurphedi community. Volunteers can contribute building toilets for the needy households and educate them about health and hygiene.
