Introduction
We are pleased to share an update on the progress of our School Sanitation Project, made possible through your generous support. This phase of the project is focused on improving sanitation facilities in three underserved schools: Akaa Quarters Basic School, Teteman R.C. JHS, and Baglo M.A. JHS.
Akaa Quarters Basic School
Since its establishment, Akaa Quarters Basic School has lacked a proper urinal facility, posing significant health and safety challenges to pupils, staff, and parents. A previous attempt to construct a temporary structure using palm fronds and roofing sheets was repeatedly damaged by wind and rain.
Thanks to your donations and their strong community collaboration, we have mobilized resources and construction is underway.
Teteman R.C. Junior High School
Teteman R.C. JHS is another beneficiary of the sanitation initiative. Preparatory work is ongoing, with the community actively participating in resource mobilization. Local resources are being identified, and we are coordinating the logistics needed to begin construction shortly. More updates will be shared as progress continues on-site in our next report.
Baglo M.A. Junior High School
At Baglo M.A. JHS, the original urinal structure had deteriorated significantly, forcing students to resort to nearby bushes, a practice that compromises hygiene and causes significant discomfort, especially for female students. Construction plans for a new, more resilient urinal facility are currently being finalized. Project support will include the provision of materials and skilled labor, with the community has contributed locally available resources. The intervention will greatly enhance the school environment and support the dignity and well-being of all students and teachers.
Community Contributions:
Sand
Water
Crushed rocks
Unskilled labour (Communal labour)
Materials Provided by the Project:
17 bags of cement (for each community)
PVC pipes
Paint and brushes
Stipends for a mason
Additional building materials
The projects are progressing steadily and simulteneously led my our team. We first had a community engagement led by the Municipal Chief Executive and our volunteers who met with the community leaders to ensure all resources are ready for work to commence. Next, the masons and community members including staff and pupils will work together on the project under our supervision. At the end of the project, we hope to provide a safe, durable, and hygienic facility that will benefit the entire school community.
Conclusion
We extend our sincere gratitude to all donors and supporters who made this work possible. Your contributions are creating safer, more dignified learning environments for children in rural communities. We are committed to building on this momentum and look forward to updating you as each project phase reaches completion.
