Results: Chi-square test results revealed that education (Chi-Square =9.309, P-Value = 0.015), family type (Chi-Square = 4.299, P-Value = 0.011) and nearby water bodies (ChiSquare = 11.750, P-Value = 0.019) were strongly associated with the knowledge on environmental hygiene.Conclusion: Knowledge on environmental hygiene is achieved only by better education and family valuesin the community.
