Toilets are crucial for the healthy development of people, not to mention children. So is sanitation–facilities and services for safe disposal of human urine and feces include maintaining hygiene through services such as garbage collection and wastewater disposal.

The overall purpose of good sanitation is to provide a healthy living environment for everyone, protect the natural resources such as surface water, groundwater, and soil, and provide safety, security and dignity for people when they defecate or urinate.

In Ghana, many schools lack toilet facilities and few having, needing improvement to meet quality sanitation purpose.

Because of this, Sefwi Atronsu Educational Foundation has mobilized funds to put up such sanitary facility for school in their community.

Students are calling on government to help improve their toilet facilities.

Mr Samuel Gyapong, the assemblyman for the area, shared the ordeals on how the Students attend to nature’s call during school hours.
