ABSTRACT
WASH in schools has become a major concern to the global world. Many schools in
low income countries lack access to WASH facilities. This study sought to assess the
functionality, accessibility and conditions of WASH facilities in basic schools in Ho
municipality. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and direct
observation. 150 questionnaires were administered to 37 schools in the Ho
municipality representing the total number of basic schools in the municipality (110
basic schools) of which we had 137 responses. The result indicate that 31 schools had
toilet facilities and 6 schools had no toilet facilities. The study further revealed that the
state and condition of WASH facilities in some of the basic schools in Ho
municipality were not functional, 9.5% lack privacy, 12.4% were bad and smelly and
30.7% lack maintenance and repair. The result also showed that there is hygiene
facility (66.5%) but no evidence of soap and handwashing facility (veronica bucket)
was empty as at the time of the survey. The result indicates that there are five main
sources of water supply in the basic schools, namely-: piped water, rainwater, well,
borehole and underground water. The study concludes that almost all the basic schools
had access to toilets and handwashing facilities. However, these facilities lack
maintenance and repairs. Government in collaboration with GES should make
provisions for repairs and maintenance, build and provide WASH facilities in basic
schools that do not have access, to prevent open defecation, and also, intensify
education on WASH to ensure usage of the facilities.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1
Information System (EMIS, 2017) in Ghana revealed that about 21,438 out of the
74,000 public basic schools in the country lack toilet facilities suggesting that over
two million Ghanaian children in those schools alone are compelled to resort to
open defecation mostly within the immediate surrounding of their schools.
The absence of WASH facilities in basic schools leads to diseases such as diarrhea
and cholera mostly among the children, Inadequate sanitation facilities in schools
has limits school attendance, and negatively affect pupils’ ability to concentrate
and learn. The main aim of this study is to assess the functionality, accessibility
and hygienic conditions of WASH facilities in basic schools in Ho Municipality.
1. To identify the types of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities use in the
various basic schools.
2. To assess the functionality, accessibility and utilization of WASH facilities
within basic schools in Ho municipality.
3. To examine problems associated to WASH within the basic schools in Ho
municipality.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.2 Importance of WASH in basic schools
Access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is essential for children in
schools, particularly for girls as well as children with disabilities. WASH (Water,
Sanitation, and Hygiene) in Schools is part of UNICEF's Child-Friendly, Equitable,
and Quality Basic Education program. WASH in Schools enhances access to and
maintenance of clean, gender-friendly, and inclusive sanitation facilities, as well as
promoting hygienic behaviors and lifelong good health. The presence of WASH
services creates an environment for effective hygiene practices which creates the right
atmosphere for increased access to quality education and supports national and local
interventions to establish equitable, sustainable access to safe water and basic
sanitation services in schools (Temu, 2015). An evaluation by UNICEF found that in
schools in low-income countries, only 51% of schools had access to adequate water
sources and only 45% had adequate sanitation.
Globally, school-based WASH interventions variously aim to: (i) reduce the incidence
of diarrhea and other hygiene related diseases; (ii) improve school enrolment, school
performance, and attendance. WASH in schools has been one of the priorities in
international development. When the Focusing Resources on Effective School Health
(FRESH) approach, which is an interagency initiative by the World Health
Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), United Nations
Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Bank, was
first launched in 2000, provision of safe water and sanitation at schools was one of its
four original components. It was considered “the essential first steps towards a healthy
physical, learning environment. WASH in schools is also included in the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) target 4.a, as a component of a “safe, non-violent,
inclusive, and effective learning environment,” and targets 6.1 and 6.2 as part of
“universal” WASH access (UNICEF & WHO, 2020).
To achieve the general school WASH objectives, a school with adequate WASH
should have a functional and reliable water system that provides sufficient water for
all school needs especially hand washing. The school must also have a sufficient
number of toilet facilities for pupils and teachers that are private, safe, and clean.
Facilities should cater for small children, and children with disabilities.

2.3 WASH and pupils’ performance
The lack of sanitation and hygiene facilities in the basics schools has a stronger
negative impact on girls than boys. Girls need safe, clean, separate and private
sanitation facilities in their schools. Creating these conditions in schools have a
stimulating effect on the pupil’s life. The major negative consequences of this is that
children who attend schools without toilet use that as an excuse to go home without
coming back. The girls also absent themselves from school during their menstrual
period; so, every month female students miss classes for at least a week and this
affects their performance.
In the school system, the major barriers identified to be preventing toilet use among
school children include poor maintenance of school toilets, smelly and dirty latrines
(Vernom, 2003), lack of adequate toilet facilities, higher pupil’s toilet ratio or
overcrowding (Lundblad, 2005) and lack of privacy in toilets. These factors play a
significant role especially on the younger children, they felt uncomfortable and unsafe
in using the school toilets in such unappealing conditions. According to UNICEF, it
was revealed that there was 11% increase in girls’ enrolment mainly due to provision
of sanitary latrines.
Sanitation is a crucial driver of public health. The availability, accessibility and usage
of sanitation facilities are associated with lower levels of morbidity, mortality and
expenditure on the treatment of WASH related diseases, particularly among children
under five years of age (Joshi & Amadi, 2013). Providing schools with improved
sanitation facilities by and large, would encourage children to develop healthy
behavior for life (UNICEF, 2012). These findings have brought in an interesting
perspective in the provision of sanitation facilities in schools i.e., the facilities should
be located in safe, secure and friendly environment as this is important so that the
pupils are feeling safe and psychologically at peace enough to concentrate in their
studies; this may contribute to reduced absenteeism and thus better performance.
Access to safe drinking water is essential to health, a basic human right and a
component of effective policy for health protection for both the school and
community. The literature indicate that it is very important to provide safe water to
pupils as way of reducing sanitation related diseases and hence improved health,
retention, performance and transition of all learners. However, the provision of safe
water to schools is still a gap in rural schools (Montgomery, 2012). The provision of
clean water remains a serious problem, especially in developing countries. Globally,
6
2.1 billion people (11% of the world population) lack safe water at the premises
(WHO&UNICEF, 2017). A large and growing body of literature has reported on the
association between clean water provision and diarrhea morbidity and mortality
(Wolf, 2014; Komarulzaman , 2017) as well as the impact of water and sanitation
improvement on school attendance (Dreibelbis, 2013; Nauges & Strand, 2013; Hunter,
2014).
Diarrhea which rarely leads to deaths in developed world countries is a leading cause
of death among children under age five leading to 1.5 million deaths a year in the
developing world countries (UNICEF/WHO, 2013). Practicing appropriate
handwashing with optimum frequency is a fundamental skill for leading a healthy life.
According to Al-Bashtawy in 2015, many students in developing countries have
shown a lack of handwashing skills. With regards to this it has led to a progressive
increase in risks associated with a wide range of diseases directly correlated with
handwashing, for example, contagious diseases, cholera, meningitis (Lee, 2015).
Children diarrhea was found to be significantly correlated with handwashing without
soap (Soboksa, 2020). Generally, contaminated hands can be a source of infectious
diseases, and this happens after using the toilet facilities and dealing with garbage
(Majorin, 2014). Schools are one of the most important places for promoting health
education and programs (Sarkar, 2013). Unfortunately, handwashing after visiting the
restroom is ill-practiced in many schools, notwithstanding its significant effect on
human health (Freeman, 2014).
Fundamental rights concerning access to water, sanitation, and hygiene education are
not affordable to a lot of children around the world. As a result of inadequate WASH,
the transmission of disease proliferates causing high morbidity and mortality rates.
Schools are in a critical position to promote health and hygiene for their students.
Children in the school are at risk for the broaden of infectious disease (Besha, 2016).
From 1990 to 2012, WHO revealed that mortality rate in children under the 5 years of
age has decrease by 47%, from an expected rate of 90 deaths per 1000 live births.
Every day, 17000 children were dying in 2012 than in 1990 (WHO &UNICEF, 2015).
Health education about hand washing is efficient to enhance the awareness and skills
of primary school children about appropriate performance of hand washing in rural
primary school.
A major problem of health issues in most of the basic schools in Ghana is unhygienic
environment particularly lack of hand washing that leads thorough health hazard.
7
Children at the school level have no knowledge and importance of hand washing. It is
essential to imposes importance of proper health teaching intervention through
appropriate structure to the country (Biran, 2014).
Provision of appropriate and adequate WASH to basic schools has been faced with
many challenges in Ghana. This situation has resulted in pupil’s engaging in open
defecation though they have toilet facilities. Some communities also have no toilet
facilities and therefore share toilet with the schools and this also has led to undue
pressure on the existing toilet facilities in the basic schools. This situation compelled
some of the pupils to resort to open defecation practices in catchment areas of their
schools. Inadequacies in water and sanitation in the school environment impact
children’s health and school (Jasper, 2012). After all, pupils spend a long time at
school, hence, schools have a valuable and vital role in shaping children’s health
knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and health outcomes. Therefore, one of a school’s
primary functions is providing educational functions and providing children with life
skills and capacities that promote their well- being (Huang, 2013). Thus, the lack of
data on WASH coverage in schools is an obstacle in protecting children’s rights.

2.5.1 Toilet facilities
Toilet facility is one of the most fundamental human needs. Wide-ranging effects on
physical and psychological health can result from inadequate facilities, limited access,
and inadequate understanding. Its users will suffer if there aren't enough clean,
pleasant restrooms available. Examples of toilet facilities:
Pit latrine: A pit latrine, also known as pit toilet, is a type of toilet that collects human
feces in a hole in the ground. Urine and feces enter the pit through a drop hole in the
floor, which might be connected to a toilet seat or squatting pan for user comfort. A pit
latrine generally consists of three major parts: a hole in the ground, a concrete slab or
floor with a small hole, and a shelter. The shelter is also called an outhouse. The pit is
typically at least three meters (10 ft) deep and one meter (3 ft) across. The hole in the
slab should not be larger than 25 cm (10 in) to prevent children falling in.
KVIP toilet: According to Thrift (2007), the Kumasi Ventilated Improved Pit Latrine
(KVIP) was developed by Albert Wright at the Kumasi University of Science and
Technology (now the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology) in the
early 1970s. The KVIP is a twin-pit VIP latrine which allows the contents of one pit to
compost while the other pit is in use.
9
Figure 2.2: KVIP Toilet
Flush toilet: A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC) is a
toilet that disposes of human waste (principally urine and feces) by using the force of
water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or
at a communal facility, thus maintaining a separation between humans and their waste.
Flush toilets can be designed for sitting or for squatting.
Hygiene Facility means a structure or part of a structure that contains toilet, shower,
hand wash station, and dressing capabilities serving bathers and patrons at an aquatic
facility.

Figure 2.4: Veronica Bucket
Water storage is a broad term referring to storage of both potable water for
consumption, and non-potable water for use in agriculture. In both developing
countries and some developed countries found in tropical climates, there is a need to
store potable drinking water during the dry season( refer to Appendix).

METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
This section of the study examined the approaches that were used in the conduct of
the study. This section is made up of study area, research population and sample size,
sources of data, data collection, data analysis. The section also touched on the research
ethical considerations that were observed during data collection and analysis.
The traditional festival in Ho is the Asogli Yam Festival, which is celebrated around
September of every year.Ho has a lively and huge open market that attracts people
from all over the Volta Region and migrants from Togo. The people of Ho are well
known of farming. The population of the Municipality according to 2021 population
and housing census stands at 114,472 with 54,893 males and 59,579 females. There
are 110 basic schools within the municipality.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 Conclusion
The study concludes that the types of WASH facilities in some of the basic
schools in Ho municipality were broken down and were not functioning such that
some cubicle, toilets bowls, seats as well as squat holes are broken down. The
toilet facilities used are water closet, KVIP with a few pit latrines mostly found in
Government schools. Most of the schools within the municipality lack
accessibility and utilization of WASH facilities due to the bad state of the
facilities. Almost all the basic schools have hand washing facilities and there were
no evidence of soap and water. The source of water supply in the basic schools
does not flow frequently and those that depend on rainwater always face challenge
in the dry season.
5.2 Recommendations
Government in collaboration with GES should make provisions for repairs
and maintenance, build and provide WASH facilities in basic schools.
Government should intensify education on WASH to ensure usage of the
facilities.
