“In the last $90 MPasia give out, it was per household, this time if people are listening we said per person. So you could actually have five people in one home applying for the $50 and they would be entitled to get it because there are five adults or they have large families.”

The above scheme is for all individuals 18 year and above in Viti Levu.
