Progress Being Made

From CentCom:

Ninewa
· Eighteen teachers and 519 students face a brighter future and a better education in two renovated schools in Ninewa Province.

Diyala
· Completion of a village water distribution network in Diyala Province will provide water to 365 houses.

Baghdad
· An Iraqi company completed a police station. The completed station will increase the security level and provide a welcomed police presence in this section of Baghdad.
· A project to upgrade security at an Iraqi government building.

Najaf
· More that 300 students will enjoy a better learning environment in a newly-refurbished school. This project refurbished an existing school to include new electrical work, paint, tile floors, bathrooms, and a new security wall.

Basrah
· A newly-constructed border fort along the border between Iraq and Kuwait increases security for the people of Basrah Province. This new construction project included a bed down area, kitchen, armory, observation posts, perimeter security lighting, berm, offices, showers, and electrical power.
· A road repair project that upgraded over three kilometers of an existing dirt road with a six meter-wide, two-lane, paved roadway with shoulders in a congested neighborhood. Five culverts were also added to assist the local farmers with irrigation. The local community of 25,000 will benefit from this safer, paved roadway for travel to school and other community services.
