Africa-Press – Angola. Sixteen vulnerable families, from the municipality of Cuanhama, in Cunene, received, on Tuesday, from the Provincial Office of Family Social Action and Gender Equality, work kits to promote family income.
The kits include sewing machines, metalwork and their respective components, as well as a basic food basket to minimize food shortages.
On the occasion, the director of Social Action in Cunene, Georgina Braga, said that they delivered the means to homes for families to do small businesses, as part of the program to protect vulnerable groups.
The person responsible explained that the objective of this support is to empower these vulnerable families, to create the minimum conditions for their self-sustenance.
“There are so many needs, but as the kits arrive, distribution will cover other vulnerable people, so they have the same opportunity and strength to work”, he said.
He made it known that two 17-year-old twin brothers who had decreased hearing capacity since they were two years old also benefited from hearing aids.
Georgina Braga advised the beneficiary families to make good use of the work kits, in order to contribute to reducing the poverty rate and combating hunger in the communities.
The kit distribution program, which has been running since last week, has already benefited 33 households, which received popcorn machines, metalwork and shoemaking materials.
The province of Cunene has one million and 491 inhabitants.
