The heart of Gonja is one of the vibrant youth groups in Gonjaland that took a step to contribute and support those who lost their lives and those who suffered injuries during the Gbiniyiri conflict in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba.
The donation was made on Saturday 27th September 2025 at Sawla.
Speaking after the donation, Chairman of the Heart of Gonja, Mr Yahaya Abdul Razack noted that the Heart of Gonja is a youth-driven association devoted to the preservation of our cherished customs and traditions.
Mr. Razack mentioned that they are a family — a family that rises when one of them falls, a family that comforts when one of them suffers, and a family that stands together in the face of adversity.
Recently, our brothers and sisters from the Gonja side found themselves in the middle of a tragedy, the Gonja-Lobi conflict at Gbiniyiri in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah region and thirteen of our own, including the Gbiniyiriwura, the Bundiwura, and eleven others — have been left injured, traumatized, and struggling to rebuild their lives.
Until now, these victims have received no form of support from any person or organization and they are left to their faith, waiting for a helping hand, waiting for someone to care and It is said that the true measure of a community is how it treats its most vulnerable and this is the time for us to show that we, the people of Gonja, stand for compassion, for generosity, and for humanity.
“As chairman of The Hearts of Gonja, I am proud to announce that, in collaboration with the Yagbon Be Kayigbon, and the Sawla Youth Network, we have mobilized funds to support these victims”.
The Chairman added that their efforts alone are not enough and the needs are great, and the wounds both physical and emotional , are deep and so thats is why they are not just giving; but also calling on every benevolent association, every group, and every individual with the heart of a true Gonja to rise and stand with us.
Let us show these thirteen victims that they are not alone, that they belong to a community that cares, a community that acts, and a community that heals and let us join hands to restore hope to the Gbiniyiriwura, the Bundiwura, and the eleven others.
Mr Yahaya Abdul Razack noted that the support is a message of unity, healing, and love a message that says to them, you are not forgotten we are with you.
On behalf of the victims the Assembly Member for Sanyari Electoral Area, Hon Aziz Bakari thanked the Heart of Gonja for recognizing them and also come to support them during their difficult times.
“We really appreciate your support and also we call on the benevolence, NGO’o and the Government for more support, because some of them left their wife’s and children behind, some are injured and going through a lot of trauma both physical and financial support”.
