CTG currently employs 50+ Ghanaians to deliver its services to almost 15,000 Kumasi residents. We are looking to increase that by a factor of 10 over the next 3+ years. Every home we service is a household where open defecation or use of public toilets cease and dignity, convenience, personal hygiene and health can improve.

Our Honourable President and the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources have mandated that every home in the country must have a toilet and we are committed to helping that vision become a reality. We work closely with local government and other partners to ensure we deliver a world-class service to our customers.
