The Appiate Support Fund Committee has assured Ghanaians and all fund donors that their contributions are being put to good use by the Appiate Reconstruction Implementation Team.
Rev. Dr. Joyce Aryee, a member of the Committee, Dr. Mrs. Antoinette Tsiboe-Darko, stated on behalf of the Chairman and Members of the Appiate Support Fund Committee that the Committee is highly satisfied and impressed with the work done thus far.
She gave this assurance during a working visit to Appiate by some Committee members on Thursday to inspect progress on the reconstruction of the model green community, among other things.
“We want to ensure that people who live close together return to live close together.”
I think as much as possible, an effort has been made to do that. So, whether it’s a nuclear family or an extended family, we can bring them all together under one roof.”
“I must say that we are impressed and satisfied, and we hope that the work that will be done in the future will be done even faster, which I believe will encourage us more as fundraisers to see what we can do.” Nothing beats being able to go around and tell people where you got your money. “I’ve been there physically; I’ve seen it, and the funds are being put to good use,” she added.
The Appiate Support Fund was established following an explosion that occurred when a truck carrying explosives for mining was involved in an accident in the town.
Dozens died from the incident, while over a hundred people suffered various degrees of injury.
The community was razed by the explosion, compelling the government to establish the Fund to support the rebuilding efforts.
So far, millions of dollars have been donated to the Appiate Support Fund, which was established to raise adequate funds to rebuild the community destroyed by a fatal explosion.
Non-monetary contributions have also been made to the committee, including “wood, cement, clothing, and food items.”
