We heard about a refugee family at the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Accra, Ghana, while supporting a school project in Central Ghana. This family and others are refugees from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Ivory Coast, suffering homelessness, violence, and rape ... ultimately having to flee their homes assisted by UNHCR to be temporarily housed at the camp in Ghana. UNHCR stopped helping them ten years ago. See report link - https://www.unhcr.org/449267640.pdf

We at Sonsu Controls approached UNHCR in Ghana (no response) and then Toronto, Canada, who said any donation would go to a program of their choice and priority, not Buduburam.

The family we are in touch with all have expired UNHCR ID cards and lofty dreams beyond our reach, but we hope to help with more basic infrastructure needs.

While Sonsu Controls Inc (Sam & Sonu) is independently supporting a school in Techiman Ghana in memory of our daughter Riya Sam, this endeavour is a stone yet unturned. We intend to raise $2800 to be used for drinking water, food packets, upgraded bathrooms and a paved path over sewage-tainted ground.

A donation of even $10 is a significant step to help us reach the goal somewhere mid-next year. We thank Drs. Ajay & Mona Kakar, world-class dentists www.bitein.com, initial assistance providers to the Buduburam family who introduced us to the Camp.

As of Mar 23, 2023 we are stopping more fundraising and closing effort successfully at $2000. We are visiting Buduburam in July 2023 for the implementation of funds with resources to improve living conditions at Buduburam, with support from residents.

We partner with community schools in developing countries to help equip them with the essential tools needed to teach and inspire students. In many of these classrooms, basic necessities—such as learning supplies, instructional equipment, and proper furniture—are often missing, limiting the quality of education children receive. Access to these resources may not seem difficult to acquire in the US, but the same cannot be said for other children around the world. With your support, we can help schools in Sub-Saharan Africa overcome resource shortages and create safe, effective learning environments where children can thrive. No gift is too small to make a lasting impact.
