The Agave Development Association, in collaboration with the Ship Owners and Agents, and Onix Data Centres associations have extended support to flood victims of 20 communities in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region.
They donated sachet water, 100 bags of 25 kg rice, sanitary towels, detergents, soft drinks and other essentials worth GHS60,000.
Sokpoe, Tefle, Fievie, Tademe, Agorme, Alikekope and 14 other communities benefited from the relief items.
Mr Wilberforce Isaac Azumah, the Chairman of Agave Development Association, said though the flood from the Akosombo Dam spillage weeks ago had receded, many of the victims still needed support to face the consequential challenges.
He assured the victims that the Association would continue to offer them the necessary support until the situation was resolved.
Mr Justice Pobee, a representative of the Ship Owners and Agents Association, called on individuals and other organisations to also support.
‘There are other victims in several communities who a
lso need support. So, I urge everyone to give a supportive hand to our brothers and sisters,’ he said.
He assured pupils and students whose education had been affected by the floods of the Organisation’s plans to map out measures to support them.
Mr Samuel Polley, the Head of Communications of Onix Data Centres, said it was the company’s responsibility to stand with communities in times of need and
expressed its commitment to supporting them to lessen their suffering.
He expressed gratitude to Romeo Hademe and Evelyn Goni of the Agave Development Association for being instrumental in ensuring that the relief items got to the most affected communities.
Mr Benjamin Amekudzi, the Assembly member for Tefle, received the items and expressed appreciation on behalf of the victims.
He assured of the fair distribution of the items and called for more support from corporate Ghana.
