Project description
In Ghana, only 14% of the people is using improved sanitation. This PPP aims to sustainably improve WASH facilities at 100 schools in Ghana. An integrated life style programme by linking water, sanitation and hygiene with football will be implemented. Evidence shows that such a link leads to very strong social acceptance. With this project the WASH situation will be improved for 70,000 children.
