加纳阿科松博大坝发生洪灾，中国企业商会作为正在进行的救援工作的一部分，向沃尔特地区六个选区的洪水受害者伸出了援助之手。

商会共捐赠50万加纳塞地现金，另外还包括160个学生床垫、80袋大米和160个枕头。

此外，中国江西国际经济技术合作有限公司提供额外5万加纳塞地、20箱油、10袋大米和6箱文具的捐赠。

加纳中国企业商会会长杨群先生在 Sogakope 展示了这些物品，杨先生说，危难时刻，洪水灾民需要一个坚强的肩膀来依靠。

“在危难时刻，我们作为一个社区团结起来是至关重要的，不仅要表达我们的同情，还要为受影响的人提供切实的支持。”

杨先生特别关注灾后被迫辍学的孩子，“当灾难发生时，这些社区的孩子们无法上学，而且很容易患上洪水带来的几种疾病，这是令人难过的。”

杨先生继续说：“我们希望这笔捐款将用于支持受影响社区儿童的教育。”

据杨先生描述，这一善举不是孤立的，是在中国和加纳之间建立相互尊重、合作和共同责任感基础上，是历史纽带。

杨先生继续表示，将与受灾地区的国王大酋长托比阁下，和议会议员等利益攸关方一道，确保这些资金和物资用于立即为灾民提供住所、食品、医疗援助和其他基本物资。

同时担任深能安所固（加纳）电力（Sunon Asogli Power）董事长的杨群先生借此机会感谢阿索格里王国（Asogli）的国王大酋长（Agbogbomefia）和阿索格里王国传统地区的主席十四世·托比·阿菲德阁下（Togbe Afede XIV），托比阁下也是发电公司董事，在将中国投资引入加纳方面发挥了重要作用。

托比阁下呼吁团结一致，面对阿科松博大坝溢流带来的困难。

阿索格里王国国王大酋长、阿索格里王国传统地区主席十四世·托比·阿菲德阁下对中方的支持表示感谢。

“大约七个星期前，当洪水发生时，我向受影响的社区保证动员支持他们。回到首都阿克拉，我和我的中国朋友聊了聊，他们说到做到，帮助沃尔特地区，因为阿科松博大坝的溢出而遭受了如此大的破坏。”

托比阁下分享了中国人帮助受害者的例子，包括 Apeatse 爆炸，霍城（Ho）的洪水，以及一些被海啸袭击的社区。

“很明显，加纳和中国有着悠长的情谊，可以追溯到我们第一任总统夸梅·恩克鲁玛博士时代。中国友人参与了我们发展的各个方面，包括电力、航空、国防、教育等领域。我很自豪能成为他们真正的朋友。”

托比阁下呼吁其他人跟随中国的脚步，帮助沃尔特地区的洪水灾民，并对所有在学校、家庭和医院遭受洪水袭击的困难时期给予支持的人表示感谢。

南凯图选区议员齐法·戈马希代表受灾地区对这一姿态表示感谢。

“今天的捐款大大减轻了部分痛苦，来到这里，我一直在问自己，我的祖国加纳在这个困难时期在哪里？我们可能想把注意力集中在祝福上，比如捐赠，但谈到损失，我们需要很长时间才能收拾起来。”

对于她来说，在竞选期间访问的房屋由于洪水而不再可用，这是非常令人难过的。然而，她从得到的支持中得到安慰。

她说：“在你悲伤的时刻，安慰你的不仅是你的家人，还有像托比阁下这样的人，我的国会议员同事以及中国商界。”

作为捐赠的一部分，加纳中国企业商会代表团、托比阁下和传统当局等参观了 Gridco 变电站、Comboni 技术职业学院、Richard Novati 天主教医院，评估了洪水造成的破坏程度。

南吉都、吉打、中汤古、安洛、北阿卡齐和南汤古选区的议员代表他们的选民出席了接受捐款的仪式。

然而，由于另一项同样重要的活动，北汤加选区的议员未能出席。

就今年的 7 月 8 日，在霍城发生的毁灭性洪水，托比阁下发起一项可持续发展基金，种子资金为 150,000 加纳塞地，由深能安所固电力捐赠。

该基金主要目的是为该市更可持续的水道系统的设计和工程提供资源。

托比阁下在对受影响地区进行工作访问时承认，多年来，该市的排水沟逐渐变小，而霍城的规模却在增加。这种情况需要重新设计和改善排水基础设施。

托比阁下认识到加纳现政府可能没有立即的资源来满足受灾人民的需求，因此强调设立基金以汇集资源和补充地方议会解决洪水问题的努力的重要性。

“令人尴尬的是，这次（洪水）再次发生在霍城。记得上次发生这种情况时，我去过其中一些地方，承诺帮助纠正这种情况。”

The Ghana-Chinese Enterprise Chamber of Commerce as part of ongoing relief efforts has lent a hand to flood victims in six constituencies of the Volta region following the Akosombo dam spillage.

The Chamber made a cash donation of ¢500,000 aside 160 student mattresses, 80 bags of rice, and 160 pillows.

The gesture also saw China Jianxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation Ltd offering additional support by donating ¢50,000, 20 boxes of oil, 10 bags of rice, and 6 boxes of stationary.

Presenting the items at Sogakope, President of Ghana-Chinese Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, Yang Qun said the flood victims need a strong shoulder to lean on in times as this.

“In times of crisis, it is essential that we come together as a community, not only to offer our sympathies but also to provide tangible support to those affected".

He was particular about children who had to forfeit schooling following the disaster.

“It is sad to witness that children of these communities could not go to school when the disaster occurred and were also prone to several diseases accompanying the flood”.

“It is our fervent hope that this donation will be channelled to support education of the children in the affected communities,” Mr. Yang Qun continued.

The gesture, according to him, is not happening in isolation but on the back of historical ties between China and Ghana built on mutual respect, cooperation, and a sense of shared responsibility.

Yang Qun said together with stakeholders including chiefs and members of parliament of affected areas will ensure that these funds and items are used in providing immediate shelter, food, medical assistance, and other essential supplies for the victims. 

Yang Qun who doubles as Chair of Sunon Asogli Power used the occasion to thank Agbogbomefia of Asogli State and president of Asogli Traditional Area, Togbe Afede XIV, who is also a director at the power generation company for his role in bringing Chinese investment to Ghana.

He called for unity and resilience in the face of difficulties following spillage of the Akosombo dam.

Agbogbomefia of Asogli State and President of Asogli Traditional Area, Togbe Afede XIV, was grateful to the Chinese for the support.

“About seven weeks ago when the flooding occurred, I assured affected communities of mobilising support for them. Back in Accra, I spoke to my Chinese friends who have walked their talk to assist Volta region which has suffered so much devastation as a result of the spillage of the Akosombo dam”.

He shared instances where the Chinese had come through for victims including the Apeatse explosion, flooding in Ho as well as some communities which were hit by tidal waves.

 “It is evident that Ghana and China have a long standing relationship dating back to the days of our first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Chinese have been involved in various aspect of our development be it power, aviation, defence, education among other areas. I’m very proud to be their very true friend,” he said.

He called on others to follow in the footsteps of the Chinese to help the flood victims in the Volta region and expressed gratitude to all those who have supported in this difficult period as schools, homes and their hospital were hit by the flood.  

Member of Parliament for Ketu South constituency, Dzifa Gomashie, on behalf of the affected areas was grateful for the gesture.

“The donation today goes a long way to take away part of the pain and coming here,I have been asking myself where my country Ghana is in this difficult time. We may want to focus on the blessings such as the donation but talking about the losses, it will take us a long time to pick up the pieces”.

For her, it’s quite sad that homes she visited during the campaign period are no longer available due to the flood.

She however took consolation from support she receives.

“In your time of grief, it’s not only your family that comforts you but people like Togbe Afede XIV,my colleague MPs as well as the Chinese business community,” she said.

As part of the donation, Togbe Afede, the delegation from the Ghana-Chinese Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, traditional authorities among others visited Gridco substation ,Comboni Technical Vocational Institute, Richard Novati Catholic Hospital to assess the extent of damage caused by the flood.  

Members of Parliament for Ketu South, Keta, Central Tongu, Anlo, Akatsi North and South Tongu constituencies were present to receive the donation on behalf of their constituents.

Member of parliament for North Tongu constituency was however unavailable due to another equally important engagement.

In response to the devastating flooding that occurred in the Ho municipality of the Volta Region on July 8, 2023, the Paramount Chief of Asogli, Togbe Afede XIV, has initiated a sustainability fund with a seed capital of Ghc150,000 donated by Sunon Asogli.

The primary purpose of this fund is to provide resources for the design and engineering of a more sustainable water passage system in the municipality.

Togbe Afede, during a working tour of the affected areas, acknowledged that the drains in the municipality have gradually become smaller over the years, while the size of Ho has increased. This situation necessitates the redesign and improvement of the drainage infrastructure.

Recognizing that the central government may not have the immediate resources to respond to the needs of the affected people, Togbe Afede emphasized the importance of establishing the fund to pool resources and complement the efforts of the local assembly in addressing the flooding issue.

“It is embarrassing that this (flooding) has happened in Ho again. I remember I visited some of these places the last time this occurred we promised to help rectify the situation.”
