An improved sanitation facility is defined as onethat hygienically separates human excreta from human contact. Improved sanitation can reducediarrheal diseases by more than one third, and can significantly lessen the adverse health impacts ofother disorders responsible for death and disease among millions of children in developingcountries. Improved sanitation facilities for excreta disposal include flush/pour to a piped sewersystem, septic tank or pit latrine; ventilated improved pit latrine; pit latrine with slab; or compostingtoilet.Table WS.5 shows the proportion of household members in the MFWR using each type of sanitationfacility. The majority (56 percent) had no toilet facility. This was followed by an improved toiletfacility with flush to septic tank (19 percent), improved toilet facility with flush to pit latrine (12percent), improved pit latrine with slab (seven percent), and unimproved pit latrine without slab(two percent).The highest proportion of households with no toilet facility was in the Far Western Mountains (76percent) and the lowest proportion was in the Mid-Western Terai (49 percent). Urban households(31 percent) were less likely than rural households (59 percent) to have no toilet facility. Households86
