Stella Vidzro, Adaklu District Environmental Officer, on Friday stated that open defecation was a challenge-a practice that not only brought an unbearable stench but also posed health risks to everyone. "It's an environmental hazard," she stressed.
Vidzro was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview on the sidelines of a fumigation exercise undertaken by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Yayra Child and Youth Development Centre at Adaklu Kodzobi in the Adaklu District.
The fumigation, done in collaboration with the Adaklu District Environmental Office and Zoomlion Ghana, was part of the Centre's anti-malaria campaign exercise.
The month-long programme is being sponsored by Compassion International Ghana (CIG), an organisation committed to transforming the lives of children living in extreme poverty.
