@Africa_NewMedia A3: access to clean water has the potential to reduce water related ailments, women are the ones who spend time at hospital when children are sick, Clean water means less time at hospitals with children and spouses and more time for livelihood activities #WERDWASH #WaterAidGhana

@Africa_NewMedia A3: Water is life as the saying goes; water is used in almost every economic or livelihood venture in Ghana, be it sheabutter proccessing, soap making, etc. by gaining access to water women would have had access to a key resource for improving their lives#WERDWASH #WaterAidGhana

@Africa_NewMedia A1: For example girls are often the ones who go to fetch water for the household, this results to constant lateness leading to poor performance and subsequently drop out #WERDWASH #WaterAidGhana

@Africa_NewMedia A1: To be able to demand for rights one needs to be aware and know these rights, one way of knowing these rights is through education, but current figures record high drop out rates for girls due to these social and cultural practices.

@Africa_NewMedia A1: Our socio- cultural setting creates an environment that is bias on the basis of gender#WERDWASH #WaterAidGhana
