More than 250 families in the Western Division who have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis have received cash assistance from the Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA) Fiji through the financial support of the European Civil Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).
ADRA Fiji began its cash distribution to affected families in Nadi and Vatukoula last week in close coordination with the Commissioner Western’s Office.
ADRA Fiji Cash Coordinator Angelina Taufaga said they utilised bank e-transfers and mobile phone transfers to allow beneficiaries to meet their immediate food security and livelihood needs.
Keresi Keretu, 46, of Narewa in Nadi, a single mother of two who had been laid off from Jacks of Fiji is thankful for the assistance.
