Tombura-Yambio Catholic Diocese, Western Equatoria Ministries of Education and Child, Social Development and Relief and Rehabilitation Commission conducted one-day conditional cash transfer workshop in Yambio.
 
Diocesan Conditional Cash Transfer Manager Lino Waiwai said the project supports 150 households taking care of children whose parents died of HIV AIDS, Anisa Radio reported.
 
He said they give 180 Pounds monthly to each household to cater for education and health needs of selected children between zero and 17 years old.
 
Mr Waiwai complained that some guardians divert the money for other purposes.
 
State Education Ministry Early Child Development Deputy Director Lillian Zebenai appreciated the Tombura-Yambio Catholic Diocese for supplementing government efforts in supporting vulnerable children in the state.
 
She urged the guardians to use the money for appropriate intentions.
 
CORDAID sponsored Conditional Cash Transfer project in Tombura-Yambio Catholic Diocese for the past two years.
