My name is Abena Tawiah, I am a native of Ekumpoano. Over the years, the entire Ekumpoano community depended on only one public toilet facility which has only fourteen cubicles for both male and female. Due to this, most of us depend on open defecation at the beach and in the bush. Global Brigades coming to our aid has helped my family and other households have their own toilets. This has drastically decreased open defecation and the subsequent menace it poses on the community such as cholera, malaria and diarrhea. Also, my household received education on how we can operate and maintain the toilet facility for longevity and hygiene. Now, we have a toilet of our own which we feel so comfortable to use. I will take this opportunity to thank Global Brigades Ghana for such an awesome project they have introduced in Ekumpoano. My last word is that, Global Brigades should continue supporting us and if they have any other projects too, they shouldn’t forget Ekumpoano community. Thank you
