In northern Ghana, international music star Wiyaala is using her fame to tackle urgent sanitation and environmental challenges in her hometown of Funsi. Just 11% of homes in the town have toilets. With widespread open defecation contributing to disease, she is driving change through awareness, community cleanups, and local theater. From waste management campaigns to supporting sustainable farming alternatives, her efforts are helping residents rethink hygiene and environmental responsibility. Backed by grassroots action and creative outreach, Wiyaala’s initiative shows how one voice can mobilize a community toward lasting, practical change.
