UNICEF acquires sanitation tools

UNICEF has acquired sanitation tools for 20 villages hosting over 20,000 returning refugees in the Lokomasama chiefdom in the Lungi area, just north of Freetown, the agency said. These will go to heads of families. Moreover, it has distributed 4,000 chamber pots to returning refugee children under five years in the same region. Latrine construction has started for the same community.
