Assab — The branch office of the Ministry of Labor and Human Welfare in the Southern Red Sea region extended interest-free loan to 37 demobilized war-disabled citizens in Assab. Accordingly, each beneficiary received 30,000 Nakfa.
The head of the branch office, Mr. Tesfamariam Berhe, said that the loan that would be paid back after three years is aimed at helping the demobilized war-disabled citizens become self-supporting. He further called on them to make good use of the loan. Reports indicated that a similar loan would be extended in all remote areas and sub-zones of the region.
In a related report, in line with the initiatives of Eritrean nationals residing abroad to support families of martyrs, over 20,000 Nakfa has been paid to five families in the Beilul administrative area, Central Denkalia sub-zone.
