The Rehoboth Foundation, in partnership with Operation Mobilization (OM), Effortless Change Global and The Apostolic Church, Alajo Branch, has provided food and other essential relief items to victims of the recent floods that displaced families and destroyed properties in Alajo, a suburb of Accra.
The humanitarian intervention formed part of the Foundation’s emergency response efforts to support vulnerable households affected by the flooding. The relief items distributed included 500 bags of sachet water, representing 15,000 sachets, 500 packs of hot meals, soap, disinfectant and 800 bags of dry food supplies, which were delivered directly to affected families.
The Rehoboth Foundation, a humanitarian and development organisation founded by Rev. Celia Apeagyei-Collins with offices in Ghana and London, mobilised resources through internal contributions, partnerships and support from friends and collaborators to provide urgent assistance to flood victims.
Registered in Ghana in 2012, the Foundation is committed to training, educating, elevating and empowering young people while extending humanitarian support to vulnerable communities across Ghana and beyond.
Over the years, the Foundation has undertaken several community development initiatives, including health outreach programmes in the Central Region of Ghana, where it has adopted 12 villages in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) Municipality near Cape Coast.
Through these interventions, Rehoboth Foundation supports residents by paying National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) premiums, organising regular medical outreach programmes and providing health services through medical professionals. The Foundation also constructs boreholes and toilets, provides clothing and food items, supports schools with books and playground toys, and improves building elements, fixtures and fittings in communities where it operates.
In November 2025, the Foundation collaborated with Samaritans Feet to provide 2,500 pairs of shoes to children and adults. Its emergency response history also includes the June 3, 2015 flood relief outreach in Asylum Down, Adabraka, Chorkor, Mallam, Odoorna, Katamanto and other flood-affected areas within the Greater Accra Region.
The Foundation also provided relief support on June 30, 2026, to flood victims in Tema, Gbawe and Aplaku as part of its continued humanitarian response to communities affected by disasters.
Speaking during the Alajo relief outreach, the Country Director of Operation Mobilization (OM), operators of the Logos Ships, Mr. Paul Tom Nyama, described the intervention as emotional and impactful, saying the partnership demonstrated the importance of collective humanitarian action.
Mr. Nyama said although the destruction caused by the floods had been seen on social media, visiting the affected communities personally revealed the true extent of the devastation, adding that the situation on the ground was difficult to comprehend.
He commended the Rehoboth Foundation for its coordination, transparency and leadership throughout the relief exercise, noting that beneficiaries expressed appreciation and joy despite the losses they had suffered.
He further stressed that the heavy rains had caused extensive destruction and that many affected families were still in urgent need of assistance. According to him, more organisations and individuals must join the relief efforts because “we cannot do this alone.”
Mr. Nyama encouraged stakeholders, corporate organisations and development partners to support ongoing humanitarian initiatives to help affected communities recover from the impact of the floods.
The relief exercise was also supported by Effortless Change Global, an NGO and Christian ministry in Ghana, which explained that its decision to partner with the Rehoboth Foundation was based on the belief that the love of Christ must be demonstrated through practical acts of compassion and service.
The ministry provided financial support towards the relief effort and participated in the distribution of food supplies to flood victims. Its Founder, Mrs. Marian Dadson, said witnessing the resilience of affected families and the gratitude shown by beneficiaries was deeply moving.
Mrs. Dadson described the partnership as an opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ in a practical way by providing assistance to people going through difficult circumstances.
The Apostolic Church, Alajo Branch, also supported the exercise by providing its bus to facilitate the movement of the relief team and the distribution of items to affected communities.
The team was further assisted by Bright Oboi (Brightseye_ on all social media platforms), a content creator and an indigene of Alajo, who guided the team into affected communities and helped identify individuals and families who needed support most. His involvement helped ensure that the relief items reached verified beneficiaries.
The Rehoboth Foundation has appealed to individuals, corporate organisations and development partners to support its ongoing humanitarian efforts, assuring that all donations received will be transparently managed and directed to verified beneficiaries.
The Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities during times of crisis and expanding its humanitarian reach to ensure that affected households receive the needed assistance.
It further expressed its determination to continue supporting communities affected by disasters while strengthening partnerships that provide relief, hope and sustainable development to people in need.
