Targeting the most vulnerable and especially young couples, 50 families within the occupancy of the Amerindian community of Capoey, in Region Two, are soon to receive homes and sanitation blocks, another venture of Food for the Poor and the Roctheli Lil Red Foundation.
The project, which started last February, saw the rapid construction of 50 homes by contractor, Punraj Singh.
Project Manager of Food for the Poor, Andrea Benjamin, said the project cost $65.7M.
Toshao of Capoey, Valarie De Young, said that the provision of those 50 new homes to residents, is the best thing that could have ever happen for the recipients.
De Young said that she was most happy about the water project. Each home will gain access to potable water.
The community already has a community centre, and a furnished library, which saw the recent installation of 20 computers, along with solar panels.
A nursery school and a chicken venture, which aims at providing jobs for 20 women in the community, also form part of the community project.

Benjamin said that the women would also be provided with additional training from personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture.
