Flood-affected residents of Kwakwani, Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice (Region Ten) have been provided with water tanks and other emergency flood relief resources as a result of a collaboration between the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), the Canadian High Commission, and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The CDC in a statement yesterday informed that residents of Kwakwani, especially those in Lamp Island and Bamboo Landing were given a quantity of water tanks and collapsible water containers donated by UNICEF, as well as hampers, including rain boots, mosquito nets and treatment kits, and face masks, donated by the Canadian High Commission. The CDC was tasked with providing logistical support as well as coordinating the relief mission to ensure that all items were distributed accordingly.
