The seven sub-projects project funded under the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), formerly AusAID for the implementation of Kalahi-CIDSS- DFAT projects in the town of Lemery are all functional.
In 2013, Lemery received a grant of P8.7 million from DFAT, formerly AusAID for the implementation of Kalahi-CIDSS- DFAT projects.
The grant was used for the construction of five class room buildings and two day care centers.
One of the day care centers is situated in Brgy. Dapdapan. The barangay is only five kilometres away from the town proper, but the rugged terrain makes it difficult for the residence to send their children to day care centers for early childhood education./Maricar Calubiran/dswd6
