50,000 pa'anga has been granted to the WCCC for the 2012/2013 financial period.  According to the WCCC Director, 'Ofakilevuka Guttenbeil-Likiliki, "the grant is for the operations of the Safe House, rations for the victims temporarily residing there and its rent.  There is also a portion to assist with the Head Office rent located in Fanga. 

The grant is welcomed and I can only hope that it is also a sign that the political will and prioritization of eliminating violence against women and girls is on the increase."

In 2011, a total of 44 clients sought refuge at the Mo'ui Ke Fiefia Safe House.  This year from January to June, a total of 31 clients have sought refuge at the Safe House.
