CBI: Repairing the roof of the medical point at al-Twaheen, Cadmus

The roof of the medical point at all-Twaheen, Cadmus, has been leaking inside the building, which damaged both the medical equipment and furniture and offered an unpleasant view, depressing the morale of both staff and patients and causing respiratory and pulmonary diseases.
After the local community reported the problem, an FGD was conducted by ORVs, from which emerged the idea of insulating the roof. After obtaining the approval of the UNHCR and the concerned government agencies, the required materials were procured and delivered to the self-managing group who mobilized the local community.
Work started on 01/08 and finished on 19/08/2018. After cleaning up the roof, burlap sheets and asphalt were spread all over it, especially into the cracks.
The number of beneficiaries reached about 10,000 children, men and women from both host and displaced communities. The following table gives the precise figures disaggregated by age and gender:
