Sanitary latrines for rural villages, Ghana
- Category: Community Projects
Project Code: GNN0521
Background: Chalice opened the Nandom sponsor site in 2007, a church-based charity organization managed by lay people. The site is named for the town where it's based, a small community in the far northwestern corner of the country. The families we work with live in rural villages with very few services or resources. Across Ghana, only 18% of people have access to basic sanitation services, and another 18% are meeting their needs in fields or forests.
