Nigeria, WaterAid partner to improve sanitation awareness
The partnership also involves developing a curriculum in schools for students to learn about basic sanitation.
The Nigerian Water Research Institute has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with WaterAid to enhance learning and capacity building on rural sanitation in the country.
Signed in Abuja on Tuesday, the MoU will focus on strengthening Nigeria’s action plan of ensuring universal access to sustainable and safely managed Water, Sanitation and Hygiene or WASH services for every Nigeria by 2030.
Three years ago, Nigeria declared a state of emergency on the WASH sector and launched a national action to revitalise the sector.

Families and children experiencing severe poverty in India during the pandemic will be receiving vital emergency support thanks to a grant of £50,000 from Warwickshire Freemasons.
The £50,000 grant is enough to provide an expected 1,700 emergency food parcels for some of the most vulnerable families whose livelihoods have been affected during the pandemic.
Health services across India have been overwhelmed by the latest wave of coronavirus, and Freemasonry, through the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF), is responding with Plan International to support them by providing essential items, and training.
