NGO launches hand-wash station at IDP camp

The event, which took place on Friday, January 31, 2020, had hundreds of school children in attendance.

The Executive Director of Gold Health Initiative, Morolayo Akpuluma , explained the reason behind building hand-wash stations was for infection prevention and control .

"The Gold Health Initiative is a non governmental organisation that envisions an Africa with people of good health and longevity.

"While providing hand washing facilities, education/awareness and behavioural change is key for the children, hence the use of a catchy pictorial step by step guide in hand washing for early remembrance," she said.

She maintained that Gold Health Initiative is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 6 which focus on health and water and sanitation.
