AYU Launches Backfilling Project to Improve Accessibility of Youth Center
The Abyei Youth Union (AYU), in collaboration with Agany Alei Company for Roads, Bridges and Construction, has officially commenced the backfilling project for the Abyei Youth Union Center as part of ongoing efforts to improve the facility’s infrastructure and ensure year-round accessibility.
The project aims to transport and provide more than 60 truckloads of sand to raise and strengthen the center’s compound ahead of the rainy season.
The initiative is intended to improve access to the center and create a more conducive environment for youth programs, meetings, training sessions, conferences, and community activities. It will also support the Union’s broader objective of bringing young people together, fostering a culture of unity, and strengthening youth participation in community development.
AYU leadership described the project as an important step toward enhancing the functionality of the center and ensuring it remains accessible during periods of heavy rainfall. The leadership further noted that the improvement of the center will contribute to creating a safe and welcoming space for youth engagement, capacity-building activities, and community dialogue.
The Abyei Youth Union expressed its appreciation to Agany Alei Company for Roads, Bridges and Construction and all individuals contributing to the implementation of the project, noting that further updates will be provided as the work progresses.
