Con una inversión superior a los 2 millones de dólares proporcionados por el gobierno de Estados Unidos, a través de USAID, se financiará la construcción de 1,040 módulos de vivienda temporal que beneficiarán a más de 1,200 familias en las regiones de Lambayeque y La Libertad, damnificadas por El Niño Costero.
10:36 | Chiclayo (Lambayeque), Jul. 8.
Some 1,040 temporary housing facilities will be built in Lambayeque and La Libertad regions —hit by Coastal El Niño — thanks to a US$2 billion investment by the United States Government.
Announcement was made by Henry Flores Julca,
Save the Children Program Coordinator in Lambayeque and La Libertad.
According to Flores, some 560 housing units will be built in Motupe, Jayanca, Pacora, Illimo, Tucume, Mochumi and Morrope districts following the launch of a Save the Children project.
Additionally, 80 Lambayeque families will be provided with cleaning tool kits for their homes.
Also, other 60 families will receive a bond to cover rent costs for three months.
Flores said Save the Children is working through a community-based approach. "First, we had to identify which communities are not being targeted."
"The Housing Ministry will set up 1068 housing units, and there are other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved," he continued.
It is worth noting attention needs to be paid to nearly 1,200 affected families whose houses collapsed in 59 rural communities across Lambayeque.
In addition to temporary accommodation, the project includes improvement of latrines as a way to prevent diseases.
Furthermore, a community water system will be installed in 15 rural communities hit by flooding.
