Japan gives US$100 000 to Musasa Project

survivors of gender-based violence.
The centre will also provide legal advice to the victims. The grant was extended under the scheme “Japan Grant Assistance for Human security grassroots projects” that has been used to support various projects in the country.
Musasa Project director Ms Netty Musanhu said the grant will enable them to house 100 survivors of gender based violence per week.
“Instead of referring victims to different organisations for assistance the care centre will house counselling rooms, training rooms for life skills, a board room, kitchen, bathroom and legal advice,” she said.
She said the move was “welcome” as it would reduce violence against women.
“Construction will commence beginning of next year and by June the centre will be ready for occupation, helping curb gender violence against women,” she said.
Japan ambassador designate Mr Yonezo Fukuda said holistic packages were needed to assist women.
