The deadline for humanitarian donations and support for the affected communities by Tropical Cyclone Maila is May 15.
Malaita Province Permanent Secretary George Eric said this on Monday this week.
Eric said this to give ample time for those who haven’t yet submitted their donations and support.
“I think the deadline for the humanitarian support towards our brothers and sisters who have been affected by Tropical Cyclone Maila is on May 15,” he said.
“We have extended our deadline for those who have yet to submit their support and assistance so that we can send it to our brothers and sisters in Western, Shortland, and even Isabel provinces,” he added.
According to the office of the Premier, the humanitarian appeal is directed at good-hearted individuals, communities, congregations, organisations, and partners who can make a meaningful difference in restoring dignity and hope to those affected.
The donations and support can include food supplies, clothing, shelter materials, water, and other essential items.
On Monday this week, the Assembly of God congregation was the first to submit their donations to the Premier of Malaita Province, Elijah Asilau’a.
The Premier said that once they reach the deadline, the donations and assistance will be handed to the Premiers of the affected provinces or delivered directly to the affected communities.
