NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF HYGIENE AND SANITATION: WUM COUNCIL EYES THE TROPHY.



The Wum Council is poised to grab the title of the cleanness municipality at the Menchum Divisional level, following the mobilization of the population to give their municipality a new facelift by making it the cleanness town in Cameroon.

 

The campaign it should be recalled, is aimed at demonstrating to the communities, the importance of ensuring proper hygiene and sanitation for health and safety, encourage the Village hygiene and sanitation groups to champion efforts to promote proper waste disposal, and to support the local council by exhibiting in action, the value we attach to our various communities.

 




This Wednesday June 29th 2022, the population massively turned out from 8am to 12 noon to keep their homes, quarters and villages clean, not leaving out business premises. This new impetus found in the collaboration of the population, is a great sign that everyone loves a clean environment.

 

The National Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign that seeks to encourage Cameroonian towns to maintain high level of salubrity, shall be rewarding the cleanness town during this year’s celebration of World Habitat day in Bertoua.

 

Since the outbreak of the ongoing sociopolitical stalemate in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon, many households in Wum municipality have been abandoned, some streets neglected, gutters filled with wastes, bushy environments and dilapidated structures that are now an eyesore to the already battered image of the municipality. This national awareness raising campaign is not only a springboard to the Wum council and team, but also a wind beneath this local council’s wing as it sensitizes  its inhabitants for them to go back to the good days of yore.

 

The Sanitation & Hygiene awareness campaign initiated this 29th day of June 2022, has been taking the message of cleanliness in different parts of the Wum municipality through community mobilization. The participants including the community members, church leaders, the young and the old, have pledged together for the prosperity of the municipality, the subdivision, the division, the region and country at large through sanitation.
