Students and teachers of Wiafe Akenten Presby SHS have expressed their concern about resorting to open defecation due to the lack of toilet facilities in the school
In the heart of the Offinso North District in the Ashanti Region lies Wiafe Akenten Presby Senior High School, a beacon of education facing a critical challenge: inadequate sanitation facilities.
Students and teachers alike have voiced their distress over the prevalent practice of open defecation in nearby bushes due to the absence of proper toilet facilities within the school premises.
The issue at hand is not merely an inconvenience but a significant health and dignity concern. Open defecation not only exposes individuals to health risks such as waterborne diseases but also undermines the fundamental right to privacy and sanitation.
For young students particularly, this situation can have profound impacts on their physical well-being and psychological development.
According to reports from concerned stakeholders within the school community, the lack of adequate toilet facilities forces students and staff to resort to makeshift solutions, which are neither sanitary nor sustainable.
