The money is to be used to fund projects for the victims of Noel and Olga, the two tropical storms that caused major damage to many parts of the country in late 2007. Juan Pablo de Laiglesias Gonzalez de Paredo made the announcement at a ceremony attended by Temistocles Montas, the Dominican Minister of the Economy, Planning and Development.

Four and a half million euros will go towards micro-credit funds, Spanish NGOs operating in the country and health projects.
