10 August 2011 - UNAMID, through its Quick Impact Projects program, has funded the construction of two classrooms and a fence for the El Wadi Primary School in Saraf Omra, North Darfur. The center is a new basic school for girls which will allow 500 girls to transfer from distant and overcrowded schools to the new facility near to their homes. The project was also intended to help girls’ education in Saraf Omra, since the locality scored the second best examination results of the state of North Darfur.
The school will be complimented with the construction of two additional classrooms and an office for teachers, financed by the Government of North Darfur. .
