An Accra-based non-governmental organisation, Jadarls Foundation, has donated some relief items to flood victims in the Lower Volta Basin.
There had earlier been concerns that the humanitarian aid being sent to the Lower Volta Basin was not being distributed equitably to all those affected by the flooding, as most of these donations were being made in Mepe - the most affected by the flood.
Jardarls Foundation had thus sought to reach less visited areas to donate much-needed sanitary items, water and food supplies.
In an interview with the media, the Programmes Lead of Jadarls Foundation, Ms. Davida Pappoe indicated that the donation was targeted at women and girls within the affected areas.

The Foundation’s donation included bags of treated water and sanitary pads. Again, each household was provided with buckets and water purifying tablets, guaranteeing a supply of safe drinking water for the affected communities.
This initiative, according to Davida Pappoe, will not only address immediate needs but also lay the foundation for a healthier future. She noted that it was necessary for the flood victims to have adequate water since the water bodies were polluted.
The foundation also gave out soaps, toilet rolls, and other basic sanitation materials to the affected victims. Ms. Pappoe opined that promoting good hygiene practices and safeguarding the community's health was a top priority.

The donation also included food items.
"By addressing food security, the foundation aims to bolster the resilience of the affected communities," she said.
The HR Manager, Robert Justice Ayee, said the Chairman of the Group realized the urgent need to contribute their quota to the humanitarian support being extended to flood victims in the area.
He said that their approach is to distribute the items directly to the people in need thus making sure that everyone affected receives enough relief items.
He further lamented the lack of adequate education and preparedness towards the spillage resulting in the disaster, a situation he said was not helpful and should be corrected.
Robert Justice Ayee urged other organisations to also come to the aid of the people and put smiles on the faces of the victims.
