Women of Nabudrau, Tailevu receive timely assistance

It was a joyous occasion for 40 active members of the Nabudrau Women’s Group in Tailevu after receiving a grant to help kick start income generating projects.

While officiating at the handover of the grant, Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Rosy Akbar says the $6,000 grant is being funded under the Office of the Prime Minister’s small grant scheme.
