Mr Richard Mascot, Head Teacher of Azule Loanu Local School in the Western Region, on Wednesday appealed to ATCWAR, a Takoradi based Non Governmental Organisation (NGO), to provide the school with hand-pump well to help improve sanitation in the school.
He said the request for a hand pump well would also help in providing potable water for the school children and the village as whole since the village had no source of any good drinking water.
Mr Mascot made the appeal when Mrs Beatrice Ansah Eshun and Mr Collins Martin, National Cordinator and member of ATCWAR respectively, visited the community to interact with members of the NGO's affiliate and the community as a whole.
The Azule Loanu Community is host to the WCP Club, the Beland-Bo platform and the COMPAS operators which are affiliates of the NGO.
The head teacher added that the village lacked potable water and as a result the school children drank from a standing pool which is dangerous and could cause water borne diseases.
Mrs Beatrice Eshun, National Coordinator, presented a wheel chair to Master Stephen Monney, a physically challenged person and a member of the WCP club and assured him that the NGO had secured funding to cater for his school needs.
She, therefore, entreated him to study hard in order to justify the investment the NGO would make in him as well as his future.
The Azule Loanu Community could now boast of a satellite market and school project through the support of the NGO and the district assembly.
