The Zakat Foundation, a Ghana-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) with headquarters in Chicago, USA, has extended humanitarian support to some 4,000 Ghanaian refugees in neighbouring Ivory Coast. The donation, worth thousands of cedis, included essential relief items and came with a call for forgiveness, peace, and unity for national development.<\/p>\n

At Vonkoro, the Country Director of Zakat Foundation, Salia Alhassan, met with Ivorian officials and the Ghanaian refugees, assuring them of the organisation\u2019s continued prayers and support.<\/p>\n

\"Zakat<\/figure>\n

\u201cYou are not alone here because Allah\u2019s mercy is upon you, and we are here to assure you that we are not only praying for you but to support your wellbeing, meant to enhance your day-to-day survival,\u201d Mr Alhassan said.<\/p>\n

He explained that the visit was meant to console the refugees and demonstrate Allah\u2019s love and mercy to give them hope.<\/p>\n
