Project Description

The proposed road improvement will run east to west connecting the villages of Kakro Gushkhaneh, Ghari and Spin Zarat. These are large agrarian villages with a total of 1000-1500 inhabitants. The current roadway is unimproved and only runs from the eastern side of Southern Malajat. As you move west along the current route the road ends and becomes a trail. If the road is improved it can become a vital route for transportation of goods and services enabling the farmers of the villages of Ghari, Kakaro Gushkhaneh and Spin Zarat to transport goods to local markets.

Project Goals

It is the intent of this project to create a thoroughfare for the transportation of agrarian goods. If the current unimproved road and trail is improved it could increase transportation of needed items among three major villages of Southern Malajat.Increased transportation will affect the villagers of Kakaro Gushkhaneh, Ghari and Spin Zarat.

Restoring transportation throughout this area will have a positive effect on local agriculture and commerce, as well as allowing the Municipal Government to extend its capacity into this large area bordering Kandahar City. The road will also open transportation for the local residents to the larger village of Zor Shar. This road is being designed to serve as a functional thoroughfare for the transportation of agrarian goods to markets and to other villages within the region. With the absence of a useable throughway, the current village inhabitants are limited in their abilities to efficiently transport their crops to locations outside of the immediate vicinity of their villages. This project will effectively reopen transportation for a community comprised of 38 separate and distinct village communities and be a significant factor in ensuring their economic vitality. Further, restoring transportation will allow for greater access to medical care, police, education and the Municipal Government by the local residents, thereby building the relationship with the local villagers and their government representation.
