CES aids war victims in Koinadugu

    ABIDJAN

    Christian Extension Services has given villagers from the Koinadugu District tools to maintain feeder roads, and rehabilitation aid to help them cope with the effects of war, according to an OCHA situation report covering 7-22 December.

    Feeder roads in five chiefdoms were put under maintenance in the district while women, originating from the area, were involved in a rehabilitation project in the west of the capital, Freetown. The city's project targeted single parent families, providing them health and trauma counseling as well as teaching them basic skills on self-sustenance, reading and numeracy, the report said.
