One of the leading banks in Ghana, Ecobank Ghana has made donations worth over GH¢200,000 to three communities in the Volta Region affected by floods, following the spillage of the Akosombo and Kpong Dams.
The three beneficiary communities are Sopkoe in South Tongu District, New Bakpa Zorotodzi and Adidome – both in the Central Tongu District. The donated items included 5,730 bags of sachet water, 675 bags of 5kg rice, and 6 bales of used clothing. The bank also presented assorted medications to the two district hospitals, as part of the donations.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Dr. D. Kasser Tee, Marketing and Corporate Communications Manager of Ecobank Ghana, said “The bank shares in the pain of the displaced people in the three communities who have had their livelihoods severely affected by the floods. Their homes are gone, and they have no access to good healthcare and education for their children.
“It is in this regard that Ecobank Ghana, as a corporate entity, and its employees mobilised resources for these donations. The collective efforts made by individuals, other corporate bodies and the state is what helped put smiles on the faces of the affected people.” He added
