Around 27 families in Grenada received keys to their new prefabricated homes by the Government in a special ceremony held on Tuesday.

Over 100 volunteers from the organization are presently in Grenada helping in installation of the houses. Reportedly 10 homes at the new Dumfries housing site and the other 17 on private lands.

PM Dickon Mitchell acknowledged the help provided by the organization and extended his deepest gratitude to all the volunteers who brought the vision to life.
