More than 15,000 families in northern Afghanistan's Sar-e-Pul province are set to gain access to safe drinking water. Water supply projects worth 70 million afghanis are being implemented in Sancharak, Sozma Qala and Gosfandi districts, according to the aid group ActionAid.
Simon Wankuru, the organisation's general director of programmes, shared the details in a meeting with Sar-e-Pul Governor Qari Bakhtiar Muaz, saying thousands of households across the three districts would have safe water once the projects are complete.
Welcoming the work, Governor Muaz asked the organisation to extend the projects to the province's Aljahad and Sayad districts as well.
