Project description
BEFARe and AAR Japan have worked in partnership in 2012 and 2013 to improve the educational facilities and enhance sanitation awareness of 7 schools in Afghan refugee camps as well as 25 schools in the host communities in district Nowshera. The three separate projects supported massive structure repairs that were badly needed and also constructed a large number of new cstructures like classrooms, toilets, verandas etc. The structures were constructed considering the special needs of children with disabilities.
BEFARe has been awarded this project by AAR Japan to review its partnership with BEFARe to continue disseminating the importance of sanitation and hygiene in the 39 schools supported in the year 2012, 2013 and 2014.
