FOOD HYGIENE AND SAFETY IN PADER MARKET
DO WE REALLY BUY SAFE FOOD FROM THE MARKET?!
In my visits to the market in Pader town, North Uganda, on several occasions, I have found a situation characterized by poor storage, poor health conditions of the food handlers, dirty selling environment and poor sanitation in the market
Posts above and below show Geoffrey conducting Heath Education to the market vendors in
Pader market
What about the sanitary facilities that the vendors are using? The Town Council authority has endeavored to construct VIP latrines in the market for use, so let's see what is happening in the latrine.. Is it being used well??
It looks like as a very nice latrine, but what about inside? Let's see...
The post above shows the nice latrines constructed in the market for public use; however, below is the floor of the above latrine: see how dirty it is! Feaces everywhere and nowhere to step to enter the latrine! What is the problem? What people are not using these latrines properly? Is it due to human attitude??
I indeed have made an attempt to sensitize them in order to use and maintain the latrines properly, I hope for a change! I will pay back visit in two weeks time to see if there are changes and will continue to help sensitize these community members again in the future.
