(source)About 1,640 people in eight communities in the upper West Region who lost their property in last year’s floods are benefiting from a 48,550 Canadian dollar funded project to rehabilitate their houses.

The Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives under the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is funding the project through the People’s Action to Win Life All-Round, (PAWLA) a local NGO in Tumu.

Under the project, the NGO would provide assorted relief assistance including 138 bundles of roofing sheets, 200 bags each of maize and rice, 380 pieces of blankets and 600 mosquito nets to the floods victims.

Even though those who were affected by flodds in Ghana received aid closer to the time of the disaster, there is still aid that is needed and - fortunately - that is coming in.
