The study investigated the factors influencing diarrheal disease among under five years old children in Borama town. Diarrhea is the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day, or more frequently than normal for the individual. Globally, about 6 million children die each year from diarrheal diseases, with most deaths occurring in the developing countries.
