  [CWDR - 23 December 2007]
 

During 2007 CWDR provided hardship allowances to 65 families in Kilii and Mullai

The families that received the hardship allowance were facing hardships due to many causes. These included those: facing loss of property due to flooding; needing to buy educational material for their school going children; needing funds to start a small income generation project; needing to improve the very poor nutritional standard of their children; needing to cover medical expenses due to serious illness; needing to buy products during child birth; and facing displacement.
