As the Harmattan dryness is felt across many parts of the country, and the bush fires abound, there are still many struggling with the continued high water levels on the Volta Lake. The lake has many islands, and some of the smaller ones have vanished for months now; many of the mid-sized islands still have inhabitants making the most the of available land for their farming and fishing activities. Lack of ease of access makes many of these areas forgotten, yet they are areas that hold much economic potential, and the people there are very much worth investing in.
