ACTED has selected the 4 target village tracts in the coastal areas of Labutta where it can implement its 4 month project. ACTED’s objectives are to improve temporary shelters for 2,500 families and to construct solid housing structures for 140 vulnerable families out of the 2,500.

Teams of carpenters trained in the use of tarpaulins will visit each village in the target area and provide support and expertise, assisting in the fixing of tarpaulins. The aim will be to reduce the negative effects of wind and rain on the temporary housing.
