Sanitation for all. A collective responsibility to avoiding disasters.
The wet season is yet to come and in Ghana, at the mention of June reminds us of some past experience and tragedy that lingers on in the minds of some of us. The rains comes upon in every year during the month of May, June, July and breaks out August as this sometimes becomes intense or are recognized as normal rains.
When it floods in the capital city of Ghana, its hard to get a dry land in the areas marked as water prone settlements and must be looked at critically. When it starts to rain, there are some few things that we would not be advised to be doing as people. Lets look at the sanitation for Accra and some few area in Ghana.
Sanitation is gradually eating up the city and making movement of humans and animals very difficult. Heaping of rubbish at a particular place for a long time has its environmental and health complications that it brings to humans and we must look at them and keep safe from all those things. When we choke our gutters and litter our environment with materials that are difficult ti decay away, then we cause harm to ourselves than the environment.
As it is gradually getting to the raining season, we will like to appeal to the general public to keep the environment clean and not just throw rubbish into the gutters that is meant for the rains to have a safe and free passage. Lets all come together and organize communal labour to help take care of the environment as our children are the greatest at risk to contacting any form of disease and even death.
When we disobey the call to clean our gutters and environment then, we are at risk of experiencing an outbreak of cholera and malaria as the heap of rubbish becomes the breeding place for mosquitoes. we will as well loose money in treating all this sicknesses and even loose lives in the country. Lets keep the country clean as we all fight for good sanitation in the world.
Sanitation for all!! A collective responsibility.
