We launched yet another child-centered sanitation campaign with our long-standing partner, World Vision International, Ghana on 19th September in Accra. The new campaign builds on our first experience with the Cartoon Campaign that was perfectly executed in 2018 with the same partner.

This time, pupils from Primary four to JHS two will be required to write an essay describing a major sanitation issue in their communities or schools and suggest practical remedial actions.

Authors of shortlisted essays will be assembled at a location yet to be disclosed to defend their essays before a panel of adjudicators in the second round of the competition. The best four performers will then be selected for the final show down in the form of a quiz to determine the overall winner.

The overall winner, in addition to the handsome prizes, will be designated as a Child Sanitation Ambassador and supported to attend high profile conferences and also assisted to implement his/her designed sanitation project.
