Chad secures the top spot in our list of the least hygienic countries in the world. In 2019, a substantial 61% of Chad’s population did not have access to clean water services. To obtain drinking water, many had to rely on improved sources like wells or piped water. Remarkably, 69% of Chad’s population practiced open defecation, making it the country with the highest percentage of its populace without access to proper sanitation facilities. The inability to access clean water exacts a high toll, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives in Chad.
