Children were abandoning by parents due to the lack of food and shelter. Mothers were been force into sex trade for the support of the young ones. Love and passion for humanity led me in organizing a plan to meet the needs of these less fortunate women and abandoned children.
We began by soliciting through a project dubbed “Food for Work". Food gathered from the work is distributed among the people. Through this many that were subjected to object poverty through war were given hope.
Expansion: the program was extended into empowering skills training for women and academic for the children. Through volunteers and good will people materials were made available for the construction of hostels for the women and children.
Ever since 1990, to present the operation has affected positively e sub Sahara regions include: Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Togo, Guinea, and Ghana were women are exported for sexual trade.
Quietly recently, about three years ago now the Agricultural sector has been added for the sustainability of the project. We now do poetry farming, Crops farming, and now contemplating on Rubber farming in Liberia. We are trusting in God that this will meet and transform lives.
BACKGROUND OF THE BUDUBURAM REFUGEE CAMP
Buduburam Refugee Camp is One hundred and forty four (144) acres of stretched land inhabited by approximately 45.000 Liberian refugees" who fled the civil carnage which started in December 24 1989. The land is enclosed by private ownership thus making it impossible to farm or carry out any economic activity on available land for self-sustainability.
Considering the huge number of refugees settled on such a small land, this congestion would means that the people are susceptible to hardship as they partake in little or no economic activity with respect to working the land; they are liable to the contraction of contagious diseases, especially so where public toilets are situated in the midst of clouted houses, inadequate drainage's, irregular sewage disposal and a fewer garbage containers ( over half of the people use the nearby bushes to defecate). Such poor sanitary conditions pose a very serious threat to the health of the people. Mosquitoes are numerous and malaria is common places. There is a single Clinic" that cater for all of these people. Drugs are basically being supplied by the UNHCR, the UN agency that is solely responsible for these refugees and the nearby Apam Catholic Hospital located in the nearby District of Apam in the Central Region of Ghana. Of course drugs and others services are paid for, when they according to the policy of the UNHCR should be free of charge.
About 90per cent of the population are Jobless. The remaining of the 10per cent are laborers, teachers and others own small businesses. These people came to exile with other skills, basically farming, while some have others skills but find it very much difficult to be employed because of their different nationality and their locations which is a good distance away from the Capital and other industrious towns is a disadvantage.
Of course internally the people (Refugees) are not united. This situation stemmed from the Civil Conflict and has made the population even more tribalism’s, an act considered a means to shield themselves from those consider their enemies.
