MKFC students bring clean water to rural Ghana
Posted on | January 12, 2012 | 1 Comment
Environment and Sustainable Development is a one-year online course offered by MKFC Stockholms Folkhögskola. Participants work with their own projects related to these important global issues. One of the second semester students, Benjamin Adjei Kontor, is currently working on a successful development project in Ghana.
In this video, we join the project on a mission to Asaasekorkor village in the Eastern part of Ghana. Here, the focus is on raising awareness on diseases such as malaria and cholera. Another important aspect is clean water and hygiene, and with the help of the project, the local school now has access to Life Straw, a handy water filter which makes water safe to drink.
“We began work at 12:30pm at Asaasekorkor community school. We talk to student about water and how to purify them before usage”, writes Benjamin Adjei Kontor. “We took them through the installation of Life Straw machine and donated five pieces of the machine to the school. We got to Asaasekorkor village again the next morning at 9:30am to educate the villagers about malaria and cholera and also donated two hundred and fifty treated mosquito bed net to them.”
The course is offered in English and at the upper secondary level. For more information about how to apply, have a look at our extensive range of course options. E-learning is a flexible option that makes it possible to study anywhere, and anytime – from Scandinavia to rural Ghana!
