The National Rehabilitation Commission branch in the Gash-Barka region extended over 20 million Nakfa of interest-free loans to 791 war-disabled nationals and demobilized women in the region.

The head of the branch office, Mr. Girmai Beimnet, pointed out that the loan would be directed to agriculture and trade activities, as well as cattle fattening schemes. He also noted that the Commission had earlier extended a similar loan amounting to 30,000 Nakfa to 501 disabled citizens.

Mr. Girmai further indicated that there are plans to extend interest-free loans to 300 nationals shortly. The loan is aimed at improving the standard of living of the beneficiaries, and thereby help them become productive and self-supporting, he added.
