Open Defecation Ignition

Dan Heath shares the story of Kamal Kar and his Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTs) approach to tackle open defecation in Bangladesh. By using a shocking and emotionally wrenching process, Kar was able to help communities recognize the problem and change their ways. As a result, the rate of open defecation in Bangladesh has declined from 34 percent to one percent with CLTs being a major factor in that.
