Open defecation refers to the practice whereby people go out in the fields, bushes, forests, open bodies of water or other spaces rather than the toilet to defecate. open defecation exposes women to the danger of physical attacks and encounters such as snake bite. it majorly leads to poor sanitation and hygiene. #tydanjumafoundation has commenced building and completion of water closet toilet at the international christian centre IDP camp based in Benin City Edo State Nigeria to help improve the hygiene level of inmates especially the females with increased number of opportunistic infections and itching occasioned by the continuous use of pit latrines which is almost full

At the ward and community levels, HUCF/TYDF focuses on creating community awareness, mobilization and building the capacity of the community to promote community involvement and participation. This will achieve ownership of the project and improve utilization of health and other services around the community. The #tydanjumafoundation Project liaises with the communities through what are called Village Development Committee. Eguaeholor Community is the first to benefit from this gesture. The VDC members were trained by the Primary Health Care Coordinator in Uhunmwode where their roles were carefully spelt out. Meetings were conducted monthly and various issues in the community were looked into with a view of finding lasting solutions. The first meeting saw the committee members raising the issue of dilapidated primary school in the locality and also paying a visit to the school to have first information of the situation, after the visit and inspection of the structures, the committee scheduled a meeting with the SBMC ( school based management committee) to look into ways of solving the problem together. #tydanjumafoundation

The long lasting insurgency attack in Northern Nigeria has over the years claimed thousands of lives, having many indigenes of the affected states homeless. Thousands of these displaced persons finds safety in some Internally Displaced Camps in some states around the nation of which Edo state is one of the state with just one Internally Displaced Camp with about 2,000 IDPs which are mostly females and children, most of which their family members and loved ones were killed during the course of the attacks on their former abode. With the constant increase in number of these IDPs in the camp, a lot of available facilities in the camp have been over used, hence rising a lot of hygiene and health challenges in the camp. HUCF received funding from #TYDanjumaFoundation to construct 14 units of water closet toilets for the inmates at the International Christian Centre Uhogua IDP camp in Edo State

Having a facility built about 10 years ago without any sort of renovation has left the Primary Health Centre in Eguaholor Community, Uhuwmode Local Government Area of Edo State completely dilapidated with an offensive smell emanating from the celling which was observed to be an abode for bats. Findings shows that the PHC has over the years served 5 other communities around its host community namely; Ohe, Obanisi, Iguomo, Okhuokho, Igwesogban communities. The bad state of the facility has to this point led the indigenes of these communities to disregard and show apathy towards seeking health care from the PHC. This is so because, the locals do not consider the PHC safe and healthy to visit for any health care or attention, of which if left unattended to could lead to a complete decline. In view of this, Hope for the Unborn Child Foundation with support from #TYDanjumaFoundation is implementing a project titled improving access to primary health care in the PHC, and has conducted a baseline study to know and study the current situation of the PHC and community members before proper intervention so as to measure the right progress as at when due.
