Ten months after schools were shut down in March 2020 to curb the spread of COVID-19, two sisters — Benita and Benedicta — have missed school; but they are at home and do not have to face the daily risks in the streets.
The six-year-old twins no longer have to walk close to one-kilometre from home to school and back daily using pedestrian walkways that have dangerous streets lights.
These class one pupils of the Rev. Lartey Adotey Memorial School at Adabraka, Accra, have to be guided by their mother or a guardian to walk safely past several galvanised street light poles with sellotaped or naked cables within arms length of the little girls as they walk, a situation that is deeply worrying to their mother.
