Cash for Work - road construction

Another main project going on in Kaabong is cash for work road construction. We identified communities that are most vulnerable and then chose a stretch of road that is most in need of rehabilitation. Medair then enlists people from the local villages, both men & women, to do the labor and be paid. This lends dignity instead of dependency and a hope of ownership and partnership with the community. It is hard labor, and yet the people were lined up - ready to work for their wages!
