Thirty people whose houses were destroyed by floods last year at Chuchuliga in the Upper East Region have each received keys to a two-bedroom unit quarters at Chuchuliga. The thirty quarters formed part of 55 houses funded by the Canadian International Development Agency, CIDA, at a cost of $75,000. Their construction was supervised by the Ghana Red Cross Society. The gesture by CIDA and the Red Cross was in response to an appeal made by President Kufuor to the International Community for Support.
