Saying NO to Single-Use Plastic

Image
Image credit: Ndudu by Fafa In the early hours of the day, when the compound has been swept, the face and body washed, and the pearly whites brushed, a long familiar urge can now be addressed. Breakfast. You walk down the street to the koko seller. Or perhaps for you, it's the Waakye seller. Or yet others, the Gari-and-beans serving is just what you crave. Then it starts:  You get your Koko/Waakye/Gari-and-beans. The seller places these items in a clear plastic bag. It's so convenient that you think nothing of it. You came to buy food with your younger brother or sister or friend, so you order some food for them as well. The food seller places these in a separate clear plastic bag. You remember that mother also requested some food, so you order a serving just for her. The food seller works so efficiently that it's almost mesmerising to watch. She places each of the clear plastic-bound food into it's own perfectly sized black plastic bag. Then with the intention of makin

Everyone Has A Story - This is Ours

Image
WHO WE ARE We are EduAfrique a not-for-profit group committed to creating an equitable world in which everyone has access to basic human needs. We contribute to bringing clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programs to communities in Ghana, Africa. We believe access to WASH infrastructure and services is a prerequisite for changing and lifting communities out of a cycle of disease and poverty.      WHAT WE DO Thanks to donations from people just like you, we partner with communities in Ghana to provide better access to WASH. In 2013 we conducted a 6-month health promotion program in Asamang, Ghana. Through this work, our eyes were opened to the social and economic consequences of lack of WASH in the realms of education and health. Following a set of fundraising events in 2016, we were able to partner with a community in the West of Ghana - called Bronikrom - in January 2017 to construct a composting toilet for the community. The population of Broni

It's a wrap 💝💝💝

The toilets you helped us build at Bronikrom, in the West of Ghana has recieved the final cosmetic touches! EduAfrique will stay in touch with the community to educate them comprehensively on keeping sanitation-related diseases and deaths at bay. Thank you, AWESOME PEOPLE, for contributing to this🙏🙏🙏 The project was completed in Bronikrom in the West of Ghana. The community provided the labour and EduAfrique covered the material cost of the building. The project was managed by Ramatu Soaley, Joachim Danbur, Kwame Osei-Amo and Kwabena Asare Bediako. Due to the community not having had any skilled labourers, a builder from Asamang (a small town in the South of Ghana) was hired to help.
