Good news for the people of Yadrana Village in Lau as the Minister for Rural and Maritime Development and Disaster Management, Sakiasi Ditoka has provided them with a total of $10,000 for rural housing assistance.

Ditoka says this funding will go a long way in helping families in Yadrana build safer and more durable homes.

He further says that during his three-day visit to the Lau Group, he also opened an ablution block under the self-help program in the village of Waciwaci.

He adds that the visit aimed to assess the progress of preparatory work for the traditional installation of the incoming Turaga Bale na Tui Nayau, scheduled for July.

Ratu Tevita Lutunauga Kapaiwai Uluilakeba Mara will become the fourth to be installed Tui Nayau by the kingmakers on Nayau Island on the 8th of July.
