The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security last week conducted an awareness exercise in regions five and six to inform residents about several social services interventions that it provides to support vulnerable groups.
According to a Govern-ment Information Agency (GINA) press release Admin-istrator of the ministry’s Women’s Affairs Bureau Hymwattie Lagan met with No. 52 Village residents to inform them of available options at the ministry to access support. Many residents were not aware of the public assistance and the Difficult Circumstance services provided for disabled, unemployed and other vulnerable persons. Lagan then told them of the need to register for the single parent initiative and services available for women and street children.
