The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in collaboration with the Ghana Refugee Board, has presented relief items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis donated by Qatar Charity Ghana to Burkinabé refugees hosted at Atta Akura in the Kintampo North Municipality of the Bono East Region.
The relief items, which included durable, weather-resistant tents, water treatment machines, solar lamps and other essential emergency relief items, were handed over to the refugees at a ceremony held on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at Atta Akura in the Bono East Region.
The donation is part of the UNHCR - Qatar Charity Ghana partnership to support refugees in Ghana.
The items, particularly the weather-resistant tents, are an immediate solution for safe and secure shelter from the rainy season. "Qatar Charity Ghana is committed to support the Government of Ghana's development agenda by fostering strategic partnerships such as the one with UNHCR, which not only promotes the wellbeing of refugees but also impacts local communities and individuals," said Qatar Charity Ghana's Country Director, Hasan Owda who was present at the ceremony.
