MTN Ghana will donate relief items valued at GH¢2.5 million to support families and individuals affected by the recent flooding in parts of Accra. The support, which will be provided in partnership with the Multimedia Group and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), aims to bring immediate relief to people whose lives have been disrupted.
As part of this response, MTN Ghana, together with its partners, will provide essential items to meet the pressing needs of affected households. These include student mattresses and blankets, mosquito coils and repellents, and food supplies such as rice, cooking oil, tomato paste, canned mackerel, sugar, spaghetti, and oats.
Detergents and toiletries will also be provided to help families maintain basic hygiene in temporary living conditions. Distribution will be done in collaboration with NADMO to ensure that support reaches the most affected communities.
Speaking on the planned donation, the Chief Executive Officer for MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, expressed solidarity for families impacted by the floods. “We are heartbroken by the devastation caused by the flooding. Many families have lost their homes, their belongings, and their sense of normal life,” he said.
“At MTN, we believe in standing with our communities, especially in difficult times. This support is our way of showing care, bringing some comfort, and reminding affected families that they are not alone as they begin the journey to rebuild,” he added.
The recent heavy rains caused flooding in several parts of Accra, displacing many families and leaving others in urgent need of shelter, food, and basic care.
MTN Ghana’s support is intended to complement ongoing national response efforts to assist affected communities. Through the partnership with the Multimedia Group and NADMO, the company is working to ensure that help reaches those who need it most.
As recovery efforts continue, MTN Ghana remains hopeful that this support will bring relief and encouragement to affected families as they take steps to rebuild their lives.
