Faryab and Uruzgan Provinces

Afghan media reported earlier this week that around 6000 families in the Shirin Tagab district of Afghanistan’s northern province of Faryab now have electricity. They are no longer dependent on the use of lamps to light their houses at night. Faryab Governor’s spokesman, Ahamd Jawed Bidar, told reporters that 11 electricity centers have been established in the district of Shirin Tagab, and with these new centers, 90 percent of the people in the area now have electricity.

Meanwhile in Afghanistan’s central province of Uruzgan, Afghan and foreign officials inaugurated a brand new primary school this week. The new school has 35 classrooms, 18 bathrooms, a storage room as well as administrative rooms. Funding was provided by the Australian government. The cost of the project was 1.8 million dollars.
