Abstract
This study was led in order to evaluate the health risks related to water, hygiene and cleansing in the two surfaces of health of kalehe in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC).Several factors make difficult the control of the management of the urban cleansing and the access to drinking water. Within the framework of this study, investigations spares and of observation were realized to evaluate the impact of basic hygiene and the supply drinking water. It arises that the problem of the availability of drinking water in the two surfaces of continuous health selected to be a major concern for the population. Domestic waste is badly managed with causes of the absence of infrastructures of hygiene and basic cleansing, a lack of synergy of action of the actors. Concerning the other conveniences of the habitat, approximately 54, 8 % of the households do not have latrines with presence of the excrements in the court (69, 9 %). For the evacuation of the household refuse (56, 2%) throw them in the rivers what degrades the environment in these two surfaces of health of the zone of health of kalehe.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude vise à évaluer les risques pour la santé liés à l'eau, hygiène et assainissement dans les deux aires de santé de kalehe à l'est de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). En effet, plusieurs facteurs rendent difficiles la maîtrise de la gestion de l'assainissement urbain et l'accès à l'eau potable. Dans le cadre de cette étude, des enquêtes ménage et d'observation ont été réalisées pour évaluer l'impact de l'hygiène de base et l'approvisionnement en eau potable. Il ressort que le problème de la disponibilité de l'eau potable dans les deux aires de santé sélectionnées continue d'être une préoccupation majeure pour la population. Les déchets ménagers sont mal gérés à causes de l'absence d'infrastructures d'hygiène et d'assainissement de base, un manque de synergie d'actions des acteurs. Concernant les autres commodités de l'habitat, environ 54,8% des ménages ne possèdent pas des latrines avec présence des excréments dans la cour (69,9%). Pour l'évacuation des ordures ménagères (56,2%) les jettent dans les rivières ce qui dégrade l'environnement dans ces deux aires de santé de la zone de santé de kalehe. Une sensibilisation de la population dans la gestion des déchets domestiques pour éviter les maladies dues à la mauvaise gestion des déchets.Ainsi une bonne gestion de l'eau est recommandée. La persistance de telles pratiques risque d'accroître les problèmes environnementaux et sanitaires.
