Sanitation
-
hygienic
toilets
and
washbasins throughout the village.
A latrine with 6 cubicles and a hand washing facility has also already
been built in Gatihomé, as there are no toilets, as in all rural areas of
Togo.
Where is the toilet here, please?
A
normal
question
for
us
when
we
are
on
the
road.
And
while
we
are
hoarding
toilet
paper
for
the
second
Corona
Lockdown,
elsewhere
there
are
no toilets at all.
19
November
is
UN
World
Toilet
Day;
the
aim
is
to
raise
awareness
of
the
global
sanitation
crisis
in
order
to
achieve
Sustainable
Development
Goal
6:
Water
and
Sanitation
for
All
by
2030.
Sanitation
is
critical
for
health,
child
development
and
social
and
economic
progress.
They
are
also
an
important
contribution
to
climate
protection.
How
far
we
still
are
from
achieving
this
goal
is
shown
by
startling
facts
and
figures
from
a
report
by
WHO
and
UNICEF:
•
4.2 billion people use toilets where waste goes untreated;
•
673
million
people
have
no
toilets
at
all
and
defecate
in
the
open;
•
367 million children attend schools without toilets;
•
Over 10 per cent of hospitals are without sanitation facilities;
•
Only
32
per
cent
of
forcibly
displaced
people
have
basic
sanitation.
We
at
Kekeli
are
making
a
small
contribution
so
that
latrines
are
at
least
available
in
Klologo,
the
village
that
we
serve
with
our
projects.
We
have
already
built
a
latrine
with
donations
and
are
planning another one near the school.
Grant for "Hygiene 3.0
In
Klologo,
we
have
provided
clean
water
by
drilling
wells
(Hygiene
1.0)
and
hygienic
toilets
by
building
latrines
(Hygiene
2.0).
Nowadays,
people
everywhere
are
urging
people
to
wash
their
hands
to
avoid
the
risk
of
infection.
But
what
good
is
an
appeal
if
there
are
no
opportunities?
For
our
new
project
Hygiene
3.0,
we
were
able
to
convince
"Apotheker
helfen
e.V."
to
give
us
a
grant
for
the
installation
of
40
mobile
hand-washing
stations
in
Klologo,
distributed
over
important
locations
such
as
schools,
market
places
and
kindergartens.
The
hand
washing
stations
will
make
an
important
contribution
to
the
containment
of
the
Corona
pandemic
and
other
communicable
diseases. 23.09.2020
