The Ministry of Women Children and Poverty Alleviation has secured a piece of land for the construction of a shelter in Lautoka for victims of domestic violence.
This was made possible after a memorandum of understanding was signed by the Trustees of the Golden Age Home in Lautoka and the Ministry of Women today.
The Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Women, Dr Josefa Koroivueta on behalf of the Ministry and Kantilal Punja on behalf of the Golden Age Home trustees signed the MOU.
This piece of land is owned by the trustees of the Golden Age Home.
The project will be implemented by Soroptimist International Fiji Branch and is aimed to begin construction by next month.
