Piwak Natural Health gave GH¢1,000 each to 200 flood survivors at Aveyime Camp in North Tongu District. The company held a ceremony called Rebuilding Together, Restoring Hope, with local leaders present. These people lost their homes when the Akosombo Dam spilled water last October. The disaster hurt many areas in the Volta Region, along with parts of the Eastern Region and Greater Accra.
Dr. Prince Nelson Mortoti, the company CEO, talked about helping each other during hard times. He said people can use the money for building supplies, school costs, small businesses, or medical needs. This adds to what Piwak already did last year when they gave GH¢40,000 worth of supplies to the same area. The money went to 60 people from South Tongu...
Strong Woman Changemaker Africa began a digital campaign across Ghana that helps women share their stories. The group wants to boost women's rights through better online tools. SWOCA president Lamisi Adene said they're part of a larger African movement working at both the community level and with lawmakers.
The program uses digital platforms to build leadership skills among women. It aims to make local projects more visible and push for better policies on health, education, and economic rights. Many women in rural areas can't access important online resources, keeping their ideas and solutions hidden from those who need to hear them.
CSWA Ghana shows real women's experiences to help people understand the issues better. They create...

Most Ghanaians back military takeovers if elected officials misuse power. A new survey says 51 percent support armed forces stepping in when leaders abuse their position. This marks an 11-point jump from just 40 percent two years ago. Opposition to military involvement has fallen from 55 percent to 47 percent during the same period. CDD-Ghana shared these results at a regional meeting in Kumasi.

The number rises to 56 percent among those aged 26-35. Men show more support, at 53 percent compared to 48 percent of women. The public disagrees about what should happen after a military...
Democracy Hub leader Oliver Barker Vormawor says people in mining areas have lost hope in the fight against illegal mining. He shared these thoughts during a TV show on April 26. Communities feel powerless against galamsey operators who destroy their land. Residents face isolation if they speak up about the problem. This growing sense of defeat makes solving the crisis harder.
Vormawor works with civil groups to train local activists. He points to government inaction as a major issue. Many traditional chiefs support the illegal operations instead of stopping them. These factors combine to silence community resistance. Ghana faces danger if leaders fail to address illegal mining soon.
The government recently changed its approach to...

Deputy Prime Minister Natangwe Ithete, Education Minister Sanet Steenkamp, Kunene Governor Vipua Muharukua, and other officials joined him at the event.

IPC leader Panduleni Itula wants President Nandi-Ndaitwah to create stronger anti-corruption laws instead of just talking about the problem. He spoke at his party's address Friday, claiming that calling corruption treason without clear definitions does nothing real to fight it. He demands that Swapo reveal how much money they gained from corrupt activities.
Itula criticized the president for barely mentioning corruption in her speech and offering no new plans to combat it. He questioned her claim that she lacks the authority to appoint the Anti-Corruption Commission director, pointing out that she starts the appointment process. Itula asked for special protections for people who report corruption and wants officials accused of...
