Abstract

<p>In Khulna city of Bangladesh, informal sector’s workers called “waste pickers” collect valuable garbage in the town dumps and final landfill sites, and make their livelihood. About 70% of them have suffered from disease on skin itching because they were not sufficiently wearing gloves and boots. Up to now, the importance for improving environment on their labor sanitation has been pointed out, but the sanitation education for enhancing their capacity has not been sufficiently conducted. In this research, necessity of sanitation education and direction for developing learning materials was considered. As a result, importance of the education by involving their life environment and mental care was recognized through developing visual learning material and conducting experience learning, respecting the point of view from “waste”, “safety management” and “health”.</p>
