On Monday 13th June 2023 Adrian, Alyrene, Maya and Clemence visited Dorfor Adidome in the south of the Volta region. We had been invited by the Assemblyman Jupita, to see if we could help the village build a toilet block so they didn’t have to use a rather disgusting open pit latrine. We agreed a project with them and using donations from friends, relatives and large donations from The Green Hall Foundation and the Souter Charitable Trust we were able to work with them. We used a Ghanaian design for an eight cubicle toilet. To our delight it has now been completely finished. The opening ceremony took place on the 10th June 2024 two days short of a year. So a huge thank you to the two big donors, the community who did most of the work, Clemence our project manager in Ghana for project managing it and especially to Tse Kofi Jupita Azietor the Assemblyman for overseeing the works and keeping the community involved. It needs to be recorded that Jupita did all of this totally unpaid out of the goodness of his heart.
The trustees of Community Action got this letter today from Jupita, Dorfor Adidome Assemblyman:
Dear Community Action Ghana,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible work that you do in helping to build toilets for communities in need. Your dedication to improving sanitation and hygiene standards has a profound impact on the lives of so many individuals, families, and communities.
Access to proper sanitation facilities is a basic human right, yet it is a reality that many people around the world still lack access to safe and hygienic toilets. Your efforts in building toilets not only provide a fundamental necessity for these communities but also contribute to their overall health, dignity, and well-being.
By building toilets, you are not only addressing a critical need but also empowering communities to lead healthier and more sustainable lives. Your commitment to this cause is truly inspiring, and I am grateful for the positive change that you are bringing to the world.
Thank you for your tireless efforts, compassion, and dedication to making a difference. Your work is truly invaluable, and I am proud to support such a noble cause. Dorfor Adidome community is proud of you.
With deepest gratitude,
Hon. Tse Kofi Jupita Azietor
Assemblyman
