Following an initial payment, 797 families, homeowners and renters, received 11 million Guinean francs each, bringing the total aid per family to 21 million francs.
Ten additional families were added to the recipient list after a dispute was resolved with the help of the Gendarmerie, Guinea’s police force.

The distribution took place at reception centers in Bellevue and Dixinn, and ANGUCH staff planned to work until 6 PM on Sunday to ensure everyone received their funds.
Mohamed Siké Camara, Secretary General of the Ministry of Territorial Administration, presided over the ceremony and conveyed the government’s sympathy to those affected. Beyond the financial assistance, ANGUCH also repaired the paint at the reception sites and conducted thorough cleaning and sanitation.
