During the donation ceremony, Mad Sandra sympathised with the victims and hinted at more similar support for other vulnerable communities
“These are difficult times for our people, and I truly share in their pain and frustration,” the DCE remarked. “We are working tirelessly to mobilise additional support for other affected communities yet to be reached.”

In a similar gesture, Madam Kpedor also led a technical team from the Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) initiative, headed by the Regional Development Officer, Mr. Iddrisu Isahaku, to the Fuveme community.

Speaking to Veritasnews.com during the visit, she mentioned how the project will transform the area and called on the stakeholders to speed up the processes
“The initiative is designed to offer sustainable livelihood opportunities, especially for women whose means of survival have been threatened by environmental degradation,” she explained. “I have urged the team to fast-track implementation so we can provide tangible economic alternatives to affected households.”
Madam Sandra Seyram Kpedor’s action over the week reinforced the Assembly’s dual commitment to emergency response and long-term resilience building in the face of growing climate threats.
