Songtaba, an implementing partner of the STAR-Ghana Foundation (SGF’s) Giving for Change (GfC) project, is leading a community mobilization project aimed at empowering communities to take control of their own development.
Known as the Faako (relief) Social Fund (FSF), the project which is currently ongoing in Tamale in the Northern region seeks to raise money, and get in-kind contributions from communities, purposely, to support the less privilege, especially women in the alleged witches’ camp.
The Head of Programmes and Policy at Songtaba, Shani Abdul Kasiru, explained the FSF is a local philanthropic fund that connects Ghanaians, both home and abroad to contribute for purposes of bringing development to the people.
“Since implementation of the project, we have supported women living in exclusion (alleged witches) in food, clothing, and others. We have decided to do that because living in such deplorable conditions they have been neglected and there is no form of social support,” he said.
He said the support has renewed hopes at the camp.https://www.star-ghana.org/latest-news/561-songtaba-raises-funds-to-support-vulnerable-groups
