Mr. Attah Arhin a Technical Specialist on Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WASH) with World Vision Ghana
has lamented terribly that 26% of public schools in Ghana operate without toilet facilities. Apexnewsgh.com report
The WASH Technical Specialist made the revelation on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, during the launch of the Upper East Regional Branch of the Media Coalition against Open Defecation (M-CODe)
“When it comes to WASH schools, the situation is also very terrible for 26% of public schools not having access to a toilet facility is unacceptable and it let itself to so many difficulties for the children, for their Education, for their health and all the other related issues.
He believes, the government needs to work with all stakeholders to urgently address this situation otherwise, it can be a major risk for the innocent children in schools.
“It is not fashionable in the 21st century, it is no more fun to be defecating in the open”.
However, giving some explanations about M-CODe, he said it was first introduced in 2018 to help develop the capacity of the media as advocates for improved sanitation, especially with the agenda to eliminate Open Defecation (OD) across the country.
