Water Safety Management Teams (WSMTs) in our beneficiary communities have been empowered to efficiently run our newly built mechanised water facilities.
We held different levels of engagements within the communities with a focus on improving WASH outcomes.
In cognizance of the dire need to establish and improve healthy WASH habits especially among children, we distributed 18 hand washing stations to targeted schools in the Jasikan and Biakoye Districts.
An access to potable water for communities means a stable wedge between them and their exposure to countless diseases. Millions of people die every year from diseases caused by inaccessible and untreated water supply, insanitary and unhygienic conditions.
We organized a series of engagements for people in our project beneficiary communities to sensitize them on the relationship between WASH and the NTDs.
Ghana’s Free Senior High School Education Policy for students admitted into the various public Senior High Schools (SHS) exempts them from paying fees. The implementation of the policy saw increased admissions of students including girls’ enrollment which more than doubled.
Around the World, 129 million girls including 67 million of Senior High School are out of school. The Policy could therefore open access for more girls to obtain Senior High School Education.
