Within the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects’ scheme, an agreement to support a community-based water project in Kitab in the governorate of IBB was singed on Saturday 26 by the representative of the Kitab Water Committee and Mr. Akira Hoshi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Yemen at the Japanese Embassy. The grant, which totals up to US$ 15,714, will be spent on the purchase of a diesel engine and a water meter for water conservation.

Small-scale community-based projects target basic human ned fields such as health, education and water.
