Promoting Health Through Environmental Sustainability
At Access Smile Foundation, improving public health goes beyond medical support it begins with creating a clean, safe, and sustainable environment. As a community-focused NGO, the Foundation recognizes that environmental conditions directly affect the well-being of people, especially in inner-city communities and underserved rural areas. With increasing concerns around climate change and poor sanitation, the Foundation remains committed to initiatives that protect both human health and the environment.
Clean-Up Campaigns in Kumasi
In December 2019, Access Smile Foundation partnered with Zoomlion and the Ashanti Youth for Sanitation to carry out extensive clean-up exercises in Kumasi and surrounding communities. These sanitation activities were designed to:
- Improve environmental hygiene
- Reduce waste accumulation
- Prevent disease outbreaks
As part of this initiative, approximately 64 concrete waste bins were donated to the Old Tafo Municipality to support proper waste management and encourage responsible disposal practices.
