Joy 99.7 FM, has in conjunction with its affiliates; Adom FM and Luv FM, launched an appeal for support for flood victims of the three northern regions.
The Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions have been declared a disaster zone by the state following torrential rains that caused heavy flooding and left in its wake a destructive trail.
Apart from some eight persons confirmed dead, an estimated 260,000 people are said to have been displaced by the rains which also swept away some 4500 homes.
Programmes Director of Joy FM, Mr. Kofi Owusu, speaking on Joy FM’s Midday News explained that the parent company of the stations, Multimedia Broadcasting Company, which has six other media outlets under its stable, was concerned with the humanitarian needs required to restore the lives of the victims and the affected areas to normalcy.
Kofi Owusu appealed to public spirited individuals and organisations to donate cash or cheques into a special bank Account Number 0052010027306, named The Project, with the SG SSB Bank.
He said the donations could also be deposited with Joy FM at Kokomlemle in Accra, Adom FM in Tema or Luv FM in Kumasi.
