******************************************

     The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government has accepted the advice of the Disaster Relief Fund Advisory Committee and approved from the Disaster Relief Fund a grant of $2.636 million to Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong for providing relief to cyclone victims in Fiji.

     Announcing the grant today (April 12), a spokesman for the HKSAR Government said that the Committee hoped that the grant would facilitate the provision of timely relief to the victims and help them restore their normal living. To ensure that the money would be used for the designated purposes, Habitat for Humanity 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.
