Ghana Flood Relief - Volta Region

An Urgent Plea from Queen Mother Dunenyo 1st of Ghana

In September 2023, heavy rains in West Africa caused a rapid rise in the water levels, causing rivers to breech their embankments, also adding pressure on water management systems in the region, including the Volta Dam, located in Ghana. By early October widespread flooding was on the rise, and spillage from the Volta dam began.

According to Seji Saji, Ghana’s Deputy Director General of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NAMDO, the flooding is ultimately due to climate change.

Fortunately, the navy in Ghana is on the scene with rescue efforts – providing support for more than 8,000 people. The Red Cross Ghana is also on the ground providing daily support to those in need.

Dashanaba King, a retired educator and host of Queen Mother Speaks – a popular talk show in Kenya – is also assisting with flood relief efforts in the Volta region. She’s working with the Red Cross Ghana and asking that those in her global network do whatever they can to assist in saving the lives and livelihoods of those desperately in need at this time.
