PARAMARIBO – Pertjajah Luhur (PL) will expand its activities with its very own in-home care project for the elderly and other people who require this type of care.

The chairman of the PL party, Paul Somohardjo, explained that the party wants to bring this type of care closer to the people who need it but who cannot afford it. “The party not only wants to focus on providing cheap basic goods and affordable houses but also on the in-home care that people need. Many people cannot afford in-home care”, said Somohardjo who added that in-homem are costs between €400 to €500. Somohardjo pointed out that the party wants to help people do that they do not have to be completely dependent on relatives or other people. He explained that the PL wants to recruit youths who dropped out of school or who could not find a job so that they could help the party with its social projects.
