Even the WHO says, diarrheal disease is the second largest in the world. In Indonesia, the problem is the same. Report of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) on the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010 states, the proportion of households with sustainable access to improved sanitation until 2009 reached 51.19 percent.
Meanwhile, the target to be achieved in 2015 was 62.41 percent. MDGs are triggered in the Millennium Summit in New York in 2000 it has established, among others, access to clean water and sanitation as one of the targets to be achieved in 2015. In order to make it happen, the central government has provided a budget from the state budget amounting to Rp14, 2 trillion through 2014.

Especially for children, which will become the future generation. To them, sanitation is a basic right to grow flowers in the middle of the quality of a healthy environment.

But in reality, in Indonesia there are still many families who do not have access tersebut.Seperti revealed in Bappenas report on the achievement of the MDGs in 2010 it was, which means that almost 50% of children in Indonesia there are those who grow up in households that lack access to proper sanitation .
"This certainly requires attention from all of us because we realize the absolute influence of sanitation on the quality of life," said Director General of Cipta Karya Budi Yuwono Ministry of Public Works. We ourselves have Indonesian National Standard (SNI)-related procedures in urban planning residential environments.
Standard specifies that the drainage network, water supply, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure and utilities are neighborhoods important to note. "Because it livable settlements with sanitation facilities contributes to the quality of human life, & r dquo ; said Budi.
Budi cited a report from the Economic Impact of Sanitation in Indonesia issued by the World Bank on there 2008.Di mentioned that poor sanitation became a contributor to the increased diarrheal diseases, in which the children often become the most casualties.
More than people with the problem of malnutrition among children under five. Poor sanitation led to Indonesia had at least 120 million cases of illness and 50,000 premature deaths each year.
