OECD defined well-being indicators regarding sanitation, as the presence of toilet/bathroom inside the houses shared among a family. This drew on Sen's Capability Approach, to evaluate sanitation well-being through people's perception on: current sanitation practices, improvement and changes that these practices brought to their daily lives and their surrounding environment. Findings from this research showed that the sanitation system involved multiple actors and the community members also applied different approaches to ensure the proper functioning of the sanitation system which was highly influenced by the socio/economic status. Anxiety, Odour, privacy, safety, health and comfort were few themes directly related to sanitation and well-being whereas residence insecurities led people more strained then absence of proper sanitation.
