Efforts are underway to alleviate the suffering of thousands of people who were devastated by raging floods in the northern part of the country last year.
The Canadian Fund for Local Initiative, in collaboration with Northern Ghana Aid (NOGAID), an international non-governmental organisation, based in Tamale, has initiated a 46,800 Canadian- dollar Northern Ghana Floods Victims Support Project.
The project, which is being funded by the Canadian International Development Agency and managed by the Canadian High Commissioner in Ghana, would cover 18 communities in the Saboba-Chereponi and Yendi in the Northern Region, and Kasena Nankana district in the Upper East region.
Mr Mustapha Sanah, Executive Chairman of NOGAID, said the core areas of the project were the provision of food, medicine and shelter to victims of last year’s devastating floods in the beneficiary communities.
He said 12 communities would benefit from rural health support, while 500 women and children would be hooked on to the National Health Insurance Scheme.
Mr Sanah added that 500 pieces of wood, 300 pieces of nails 250 bags of cement and 75 packets of roofing sheets would also be purchased and distributed to victims whose homes were destroyed.
That would enable them to rebuild their houses which were flattened by the enduring rains that hit the area.
