Roofing irons are to be provided for houses in the Tewae-Siassi district of Morobe province.
The Tewae-Siassi District Development Authority (TSDDA) is taking another significant step in promoting basic human rights by providing free roofing iron to everyone in the rural district of Morobe province.
This development initiative is being promoted by second-term Tewae Siassi Open MP and Housing Minister Dr. Kobby Bomareo, who aims to meet United Nations (UN) goals for food, shelter and water for the local community.
Minister Bomareo believes protection is a basic human right and should be available to all members of the community.
Commenting on the initiative, Minister Bomareo said: “As the elected representative of Tewae Siassi, it is my duty to ensure that the basic human rights of our people are respected,” Minister Bomareo said.
The medic-turned-politician stressed that access to shelter is vital to human dignity and well-being as many families in the district are struggling to afford roofing materials and this initiative will ease the financial burden on villagers.
The free provision of roofing iron is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which emphasize the importance of access to decent housing as a basic human right.
This rural housing initiative will also help improve the standard of living and overall well-being of the local community.
Twenty rolls of aluminum coils arrived in Wasu. Twelve rolls will be offloaded at Wasu while the other eight will be shipped to Siassi Island.
