Emergency fundraising for detained refugee women and children

We have set up a special "emergency fund" for the detainees at the Kordeabe center in the Eastern region. Our first priority continues to be the 560 women and children now in their 11th day of detention in dire conditions.

An American volunteer in Ghana will receive these funds to avoid drawing suspicions or attention on our local contacts. She will purchase and coordinate delivery of the most necessary items via the human rights lawyers and advocates involved.
Current needs are:

  • medicine,
  • food,
  • water,
  • underwear,
  • sanitary pads, and
  • pots/pans/utensils for these individuals in great need.

Thanks for your support,

The Niapele Project Team

Ayoka Productions, a young non-profit which provides video production services to grass roots organization, has agreed to produce this for us, but we need to raise $1,500 to cover the costs.


Donations of every size make a true difference - chip in today!

With sincere thanks - The Niapele Project Team and Ayoka Prod.
