To help complete construction of nine vocational facilities, each with girls’ dormitories, increasing annual enrolments by over 800 pupils and providing accommodations for over 1,000 girls. Also planned is the provision of equipment, teaching materials and staff training. The project is expected to enhance gender equality and boost employment opportunities. Each facility will also contain a "sick bay," which will not only be accessible to staff and students, but also nearby communities.
