Donation Drive And Support Visit To Akosombo Dam Spillage Victims Ar MEPE-DEGORME

Volta Region Of Ghana

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, the Togbe Adjabeng I Foundation, in collaboration with Volta Vibrant Youth for Development, paid a visit to the victims of the Akosombo dam spillage at Mepe. The devastating event, which displaced thousands of people, has left a trail of destruction and homelessness in its wake.

Currently relocated to Mepe-Degorme, the victims are living under tents, and according to them, they feel forgotten and neglected by the government. Speaking on behalf of the group, one of the leaders revealed that the last time they received support from the government was on October 16, 2024.

The victims are struggling to access basic necessities, including two square meals a day. While some volunteers occasionally visit to provide food items, it's clear that more needs to be done. Sadly, some victims have resorted to fleeing their temporary shelters in search of better living conditions, often in unknown places.

The Togbe Adjabeng I Foundation's visit highlights the urgent need for sustained support and attention to the plight of these victims. The foundation recognizes that the people need a proper place to lay their heads, shelter, food, and other essential items to survive. In response, the foundation is seeking support to do more for the people, including constructing proper sleeping places for some of the neglected victims.

As a gesture of goodwill, the foundation donated essential items, including water, rice, crates of eggs, Milo, and biscuits, to help alleviate the suffering of the victims. The foundation's efforts aim to bring attention to the struggles of the Mepe community and inspire further action to alleviate their suffering.
