The recent floods that struck Ghana did not spare the Abakam community in which a CRAN sponsored school is situated. The CRAN Abakam Presby School was completely flooded and the situation was so bad that the school had to be closed down for some few days until the flood waters subsided. The floods came after two days of torrential rains had caused massive water flow from upstream into the low-lying areas of Abakam which is located on the estuary of the Kakum River. The school resumed after one week and was able to complete the lessons for the term and has since gone on vacation. It was the first time in 44 years that such level and intensity of flooding had caused severe havoc in the Abakam village. A number of the community members had their mud and thatched houses destroyed as a result and had had to be assisted by the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) of Ghana with some relief items. The situation is now over and life has since returned to normal in the Abakam community.

In a related development, the CRAN Shama-Kedzi Methodist School also had to break for about a week because of the floods. In the case of Shama-Kedzi, the school itself was not flooded, however, the only dirt feeder road to the school which also connects to the village from the rest of the world, was completely taken over by the floods and it was impossible for anybody to cross. After a week when the water had subsided, the school resumed but without the little children; classes one to three pupils were still asked to stay at home for the rest of the term because the flood waters in the way was still too deep for them to cross over.
