The Japanese government has provided 4 million USD aid for carrying out water supply and sanitary projects in Myanmar's cyclone-hit areas, according news agencies.

The project, which covers 250 villages of five storm-hit townships in Ayeyawaddy and Yangon divisions, will start implementation by the UN- HABITAT organization next month.

Educative seminars will also be introduced in schools of the areas, it added.

The Japanese government has been extending aid to Myanmar to help rehabilitation of survivors in many areas after cyclone Nargis hit the country in May last year.

In February this year, the Japanese government provided 2 million USD through the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to help in agricultural restoration work as well as 3 million USD more of aid through the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to rebuild the remaining damaged houses in the country's Ayeyawaddy delta after storm./.
