$20 million has been allocated for the 2nd phase for the ‘Help for Home’ Initiative program which is expected to be completed before the 4th of next month.
Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation has revealed that at the beginning of Phase 2 in Tailevu North last week, 1300 recipients were assisted in Wainibuka at a cost of $4.78 million.
The Ministry states this was carried out in order to properly and thoroughly assist those who may have missed out in the first phase ensuring that every Fijian is assisted.
The initiative began by targeting the 12 priority areas that were mostly affected by Tropical Cyclone Winston.
The Ministry is advising those whose names are not included within the Master list and the Commissioner’s office list; that assessment will be done on site by the respective officers.
In phase 1, 23,000 people were assisted under this initiative and $86 million was utilised.
The Naitasiri province is currently being assisted.
