Posted September 30th 2020
As a global leader in sanitation marketing in poor, rural areas, read about how iDE’s Sama Sama Project is pivoting to fight COVID-19 in Northern Ghana. Since March 2020, twenty-three of one hundred free public handwashing stations have been built in high traffic areas in Northern Ghana.
“The objective is very simple: provide a way for people to wash their hands for free and use soap in a safe place and also get the benefit of information related to COVID” says Osei Agyeman-Buahin, Managing Director of Sama Sama.
