UNILEVER
Ghana Foundation (UGF), has constructed sanitation facilities for two
public basic schools in the Tema Metropolis in the Greater Accra Region.
The facilities, worth GH¢120,000, comprise six washrooms and six hand
washing units for the Padmore Street Basic School and four washrooms
and four hand washing units for the Community Five Number 3 Basic School
for both teachers and pupils.
The foundation said the project was aimed at inculcating the habit of hand washing with soap in children and also to improve their health status.
“We live in a world where over two million children under the age of five die each year from diarrhoea and pneumonia. Eighty per cent of these deaths are unfortunately reported in Africa and Asia and nearly one billion people do not have access to safe water. Again 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation,” he said.
Mr Quayson said a survey conducted by UNICEF in Ghana in 2010 revealed that only 13 per cent of the population had access to improved toilet facilities while 48 per cent of basic schools in Ghana had access to adequate toilet facility in 2007.
The Metropolitan Director of Education, Mrs Veronica Adzato-Ntem, commended Unilever Ghana for the gesture and urged other corporate entities to emulate the example of the company to help improve the standards of education in the metropolis.
The Headmistress of Community Five Number 3 Basic School, Mrs Rose Essel and her counterpart from the Padmore Street Basic School, Mrs Pearl Akua Agyeman, in separate remarks, expressed their appreciation to Unilever Ghana for meeting a critical need of the schools and pledged to ensure proper maintenance of the facility to prolong its lifespan.
The occasion was graced by Tema Mantse, Nii Adjei Kraku II, who encouraged the pupils to make maximum use of the facility.
He also admonished parents to take keen interest and supervise their wards to regularly carry out hand washing with soap to avoid illnesses.
