Nicaraguan government pledges to give thousands new homes

THOUSANDS of Nicaraguans are to be given homes during a government housing drive starting next week to honour the “courage of the Nicaraguan people,” Vice-President Rosario Murillo pledged today.

More than 6,000 property titles will be distributed by young members of the governing Sandinista National Liberation Front between August 14 and September 17, giving Nicaraguans legal ownership of their homes.

Ms Murillo added that 3,117 of the recipients would be women.
