Ibanda wants more support to beat disease burden
Authorities in Ibanda are calling for the expansion of WASH facilities in schools to improve the health of learners. In a recent survey by the economic policy research centre of the more than 30 million WASH-related disease cases reported annually, 78% of them are concentrated in rural areas where sanitation facilities are inadequate. Now in a bid to bridge the sanitation gap, the Hygiene Quest project, has constructed wash facilities in more than 750 schools mainly in Western and Eastern Uganda.
