A Place to Poop is complete! Now the 100 children at the Asiafo Amanfro Community School have access to proper, safe and clean sanitation.
We constructed five micro-flush biofil toilets – a revolutionary system for sanitation in rural areas – you would even want to use these toilets!. These toilets organically break down waste into fertilizer, ensures hygienic practices through it’s handwashing component, and has a closed system which prevents flies from carrying diseases and bacteria. This is a new sustainable sanitation technology developed by Global Sustainable Aid Projects (GSAP) from a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. GSAP’s technology is transforming how rural communities are able to access proper sanitation. We are proud that we are the second school in Ghana to have these toilets!
Check out the progression of our new toilets:
With this permanent, sustainable solution to rural sanitation, the Akaa Project is now able to promote the health and hygiene for children, expand school attendance, and ensure continued quality education for girls. But the impact also extends to the entire Akaa community.
We are able to make impact because of our wonderful donors:
