Fourteen cyclone-proof homes have been built in the Northern Division by the Habitat for Humanity (HFH).

In an interview with HFH representative, Napolioni Turagakila, who is facilitating these constructions, said the home construction were done after a three-day course was carried out on its construction procedures.

“The areas we have covered includes the training and have constructed a home in include villages of Nawaido, Nasolo, Sawani, Nakorotiki and Namalata in the Bua province. And in Cakaudrove it includes, Buca, Bagasau, Kanakana, Naweni, Wailevu, Nadavaci, Natewa, Bagata and Yaroi.
