The Government has accepted the advice of the Disaster Relief Fund Advisory Committee and approved from the Disaster Relief Fund a grant of $3.92 million to Save the Children Hong Kong for providing relief to cyclone victims in Vanuatu.
Announcing the grant today (April 30), a government spokesman said that the Committee hoped that the grant would facilitate the provision of timely relief to the victims and help them restore their normal life. To ensure that the money would be used for the designated purposes, Save the Children Hong Kong would be asked to submit an evaluation report and an audited account on the use of the grant after the relief project has been completed.
