Water, Health and Education in Ghana

By -
Access to clean water is a major problem facing many Africa countries, figures from the world health organization states that 783 million people in sub Saharan Africa don’t have access to clean water. In Ghana, women are children do most of the house work. They clean, cook, wash and a lot more. And to do all these works, they need water.
UNICEF, CAMFED and WATERAID have indicated that many girls of school going age absent themselves from school due to the lack of access to water. Others will have to walk miles from home to get clean water to bath before coming to school, which leads to lateness and less concentration in class, because they get tired and sleep while class goes on. People who do not have access to clean water are exposed to water related diseases such as Cholera, guinea worm disease, lead poisoning, Diarrhoea, bilharzia, and fever. According to the world health organization and UNICEF, 1.8 Million people die every year from diarrhea and cholera. 90% of the 1.8 million are children under the age of 5, mostly in developing countries. Well some say water is a basic human necessity others say water is life, you can agree or disagree but the fact is lack of access to clean water can and has caused major harm to man and his environment. Individuals, NGOs and Government have done their best over the years to solve this problem. A lot has been done, but a lot needs to be done. Do you have a water problem in your area, do you have a suggestion that can help people have access to clean water, Lets gets talking on social media, tweet to @Rafiu_fishbone or Facebook Abdul Raafi Mohammed. You can also Google ABDUL RAAFI MOHAMMED for more info.

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
