To help refugee families meet the additional costs associated with the cold season, UNHCR is providing special winter assistance to some refugee households, particularly ones who were found ineligible for MPCA assistance and their presence in the country has been verified during the recent exercise.
An SMS notification will be sent soon to inform the households who have been deemed eligible for this specific support.
About the winter payment:
- Payment amount: If your household is selected you will receive 920 MDL per month.
- Total payment: This assistance will be provided as a one-time payment of 4,600 MDL, covering five (5) months of winter support in advance. Payments will be processed this week.
Please note that a separate SMS is sent in the coming days regarding your household’s eligibility status for the regular monthly cash assistance program, based on the recent reassessments. This winter assistance is a separate and one-off payment.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact the Green Line (0 800 800 11) or the Cash Helpline (0 800 10823 ).
