This year, Citi TV and Citi FM took the ‘Help A Christmas Child’ initiative to Tokpo in the Shai Osudoku district of the Greater Accra Region.
The aim was to bring smiles to the faces of children in the community who had also been displaced due to the Akosombo Dam spillage.
The “Help A Christmas Child” initiative is an annual event organized on Boxing Day through the Citi Foundation, during which the staff and management of Citi FM/Citi TV spend the day with the less privileged in society, showering them with goodies and sumptuous meals.
Over 30,000 residents along the Volta Lake and its estuaries were displaced following the spillage of the Akosombo Dam in September 2023.
Citi FM/Citi TV, with the support of the media house’s cherished audience and corporate Ghana, provided relief items to the affected residents.
Currently, a number of resettlement centers are at various stages of completion in some of the severely impacted communities.
Tokpo is one of the communities benefiting from these projects.
