Meanwhile, Executive Director of NET, Latoya Harris-Ghartey, reiterated that access to water is a fundamental human right and essential to the functioning of schools. She noted that in some communities, the presence of a water tank can determine whether a school remains open.

Mrs. Harris-Ghartey emphasised that the partnership-driven initiative reflects a broader commitment to building resilience within the education system, ensuring that resources are directed to schools with the greatest need.
