EU Allocates 9.9 Million Euros To Support Elementary Schools in Afghanistan

The European Union (EU) announced on Saturday that it has allocated 9.9 million euros to support elementary schools in Afghanistan.

The donation will be sent to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support approximately two million girls and boys in elementary schools in Afghanistan.

According to the EU statement, with this funding, the WFP will be able to provide snacks for nearly 900,000 boys and more than 850,000 girls in elementary schools.

The aid will support elementary school students in Nangarhar, Ghor, Jowzjan, Nuristan, and Farah provinces during the next two years.

WFP will distribute biscuits, cookie rolls, dried fruit and nuts, and bread to these students during the summer break.
