A grant of $1 million from the Disaster Relief Fund has been approved for World Vision Hong Kong to provide emergency aid to flood victims in India.
The committee hopes that the grant can help provide immediate relief to the flood victims.
To ensure that the money will be used for the designated purposes, the committee will ask World Vision Hong Kong to submit an evaluation report and audited accounts on the use of the grant after the relief project has been completed.
The fund was established in December, 1993, for emergency disaster relief in places outside Hong Kong.
The fund's advisory committee is responsible for advising the Government on the policy and practices regarding the disbursement of funds for disaster relief, advising on specific amounts to specific recipients, and monitoring the use of grants.
