Residents of Alajo in Accra have been provided with relief items following the June 2026 floods, as DirectAid distributed food and household essentials to affected families. The distribution, which occurred on Tuesday, August 25, is part of a larger relief programme estimated at GH¢2 million, aimed at supporting around 1,500 families in five communities.
This initiative, funded by DirectAid's donors in Kuwait and government support, provided beneficiaries with food items and household essentials such as mattresses, bedsheets, blankets, and cleaning products. Sami Henedak Ahmed, DirectAid's Country Director, emphasized the program's intent to aid families whose homes and livelihoods were impacted by the floods.
The distribution was met with joy and gratitude from the recipients, who expressed thanks to DirectAid and its donors. Future distributions in Alogboshie, Kasoa, Nana Krom, and Abeka are scheduled before the programme concludes next week, with the final handout taking place at Abeka on the following Tuesday. The late June floods resulted in significant loss of life and property worth millions in Ghana.
