The problem
The road to Rajaf is unpaved and becomes impassable during the rainy season, limiting access to essential services and economic opportunity.
Objectives
- Construct and pave 2.5 km of all-weather access road
- Build drainage channels and culverts
- Install street lighting for safety
- Improve access to the Rajaf Church grounds
Project story
