Add to Cart

Located in the Ada East District of Ghana, Agorkedzi a small island coommunity offers a picturesque view from the Volta River.

However, this once thriving village is now contending with the dire consequences of coastal erosion. With over 100 homes once standing on its land, Agorkedzi has experienced a drastic reduction, leaving only around 18 homes that still remain. More than half of the original land mass has either shifted to form precarious tiny islands that vanish with the tide or has been entirely washed away. Despite these challenges, the resilient community of Agorkedzi perseveres in the face of coastal erosion's relentless impact.
