Ghanaian International Joel Fameyeh has donated GHS10,000 in relief items to support the victims of the Apiate explosion.

This was after the Appiate explosion that killed at least 14 people in the Western Region town and injured scores last month.

The donation from Joel Fameyeh included bags of Omo, packs of soft drink, plastic buckets, babies’ diapers, mosquito coil and some cement bags, all amounting to GHC10,000.

Meanwhile, the Apiate Support Fund Committee, headed by Dr Joyce Aryee, a former CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, has provided details on how Ghanaians and foreigners can contribute to help the victims of the explosion that occurred in the Western regional town a few weeks ago.

 Dr Aryee explained that the funds raised will be specifically used to rebuild Apiate into a modern green city and also provide a source of livelihood for the locals.

She announced that GBC Bank Plc and Stanbic Bank are the two banks with accounts to receive donations for the fund and gave the account numbers as 101130036123 for GCB Bank and 90400099749 for Stanbic Bank.

She added that the committee also has the following website: www.appiatsesupportfund.com which is available to provide other needed information to the general public.

She encouraged all well-meaning Ghanaians and foreigners to use any of these means to give generously toward helping the people of Apiate.
