3 hardware companies re-included in Help For Homes Initiative

RC Manubhai, Vinod Patel and Carpenters Fiji have been re-included in the second and third phase of the Help For Homes Initiative.

This has been confirmed by the Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Sayed-Khaiyum says now that these three hardware companies have nearly met their delivery target from the first phase of distribution, their inclusion in the second and third phase is a big step forward for their recovery efforts as the recipients can redeem their Mpaisa cards at even more locations.

He says they will also access a wide range of products and find the best deals on materials they need to rebuild their homes.

All three vendors have now been granted approvals after completing 95 to 100 percent of deliveries under the first phase.

Approximately 32,450 Fijians have received pre-loaded Mpaisa cards under the Help for Homes Initiative.
