Projects

1. Nnipa No NteÉ›m

 Our first project name, ‘Nnipa no nteÉ›m’( which translates from twi; a local Ghanaian language as the cries of the people.)

Our collective conviction underscores the belief that every individual, irrespective of their background, is entitled to fundamental necessities. Furthermore, we empathize with those confronted by inevitable circumstances, adopting a perspective that deems them as our brothers and sisters. This recognition obliges us to leverage our capacities and resources to assist them. We endeavor to comprehend their hardships, attuned to their suffering and responsive to their pleas. The poignant query echoing in their minds—'Why us? We already endure considerable hardship'—inspires the nomenclature of our inaugural project, 'Nnipa no nteɛm' (translated from Twi as the cries of the people). In line with our overarching initiative, 'Assisting Four Families in Keta,' we aim to heighten awareness regarding the profound impact of crises on families. Our concerted efforts involve soliciting funds to provide essential items such as food and clothing to those affected. As George Nyavor reports, "Authorities in Keta, Volta Region, have activated the Keta Lagoon floodgates to alleviate escalating water levels, resulting in flooding in various parts of the town. The strategic opening of floodgates and a sandbar at Azizadzi on Monday, October 23, aims to redirect excess water from the lagoon to the sea, ultimately mitigating the devastating floods in Tongu towns following the Akosombo Dam spillage." This inundation has caused distressing repercussions in the form of flooded homes, farms, and schools in Keta and its environs, as highlighted by George. In summary, our intervention, initially focused on alleviating the aftermath of the spillage in Mepe, inadvertently impacted other communities. While our initial objective centered on aiding Mepe residents with essential provisions, extensive research revealed an unintended neglect of other areas, now aptly labeled as 'forgotten.'
