Story: Zakaria Alhassan, Tamale
THE rainstorm disaster that hit the entire northern sector of the country in the last quarter of last year, has left many of the people devastated, with some of them still reeling from the calamity.
Victims at most of the affected communities are still finding it difficult to gather the pieces together to rebuild their homes and rehabilitate their food crops that were destroyed in the process.
In that regard, HOPE for Children, a British non-governmental organisation (NGO), in collaboration with its local partners, Regional Advisory, Information and Network Systems (RAINS), has donated some relief items to the victims at Nabogu in the Savelugu/Nanton District of the Northern Region.
The NGO had earlier made cash donation to women basket weavers at another farming community, Nyariga, to enable the victims to restart their business.
The items included a quantity of cement and bundles of roofing sheets for the rehabilitation of their respective homes.
The Country Representative of Hope for Children, Madam Azara Mahama, said the donation formed part of the objectives of her organisation in giving hope to the vulnerable in society including the handicapped, the orphaned, poor and exploited children .
She observed that even though the floods occurred some months ago, their effects still lingered on the people.
Madam Mahama, therefore, expressed the hope that ‘‘the support would help you to rebuild your homes and also improve on your well-being”.
A beneficiary of the relief items, Afah Iddrisu Fuseini, was grateful to their benefactors for their concern and support which would help ameliorate the difficulties they were currently going through.
