Christian help flood victims in Ghana

Ghana-It's been nearly a year since flooding hit Ghana, but flood victims are receiving much-needed help from Christians who aren't only concerned about their physical needs.Partnering with Bible Church of Africa, SIM International is providing homes for those left homeless by the flooding and food for the needy. With early harvests killed by a drought and the flood finishing off any remaining grain, many were left with no food and no money to pay workers to rebuild their homes.Also, SIM started the Ghana Flood Relief Project in an effort to help flood victims rebuild their lives. So far, food aid has been provided, and 80 out of 100 complete rooms have been roofed.More food aid and distribution of seed for planting is planned for July. SIM plans to provide grain for needy families until the next year's harvest.As most homes in Ghana are built out of mud and grass with no foundation, it didn't take much for the floods to totally destroy them.The walls weakened and collapsed as water rose up from the soaked ground.To make stronger homes, SIM plans to provide cement and zinc for flood-resistant foundations.It still remains essential that the roofing of these houses is finished before the threatening rainy season arrived.
