Free uniforms in Paphos district

Paphos municipality’s committee for youth and sports will hand over track suits to around 500 needy primary school children in the town and wider district it was announced Tuesday.
The committee will hand over €7,500 to 13 primary schools so parents associations can purchase the clothing following a decision by the town council.
Head of the committee Chrysanthos Savvides told the Cyprus News Agency that €4,000 will also be given so needy children from secondary schools can receive a free breakfast for a month.
He added that despite the decrease in available funding, the committee had managed to save a certain amount which was aimed at helping those families in need.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
