The bakoteh dumpsite is  located in the heart of the town. Every year, around this time of the year, we,  the residents of bakoteh suffer greatly due to the smoke emitting from the dumpster as a result of fire caused by heat.

Directly opposite the dumpsite is the SOS children's village and clinic, where innocent children reside, this pollution has  detrimental effects on their health.

I live about 300 meters from the site but I and my family suffer equally, my mother who is an asthmatic experiences frequent attacks during this time of the year. I keep on wondering how many other asthmatics go through the same ordeal.

Help us close this dumpsite, we are suffering.
