02 February 2015 – Japan is providing financial assistance for construction of two high schools and one health centre in Chin State.

Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP) scheme will provide US$ 734,800 for the construction in the country’s least developed region.

One Basic Education High School will be built to accommodate over 1,200 students in Tonzang Township and another for 760 students in Falam, according to the Global New Light of Myanmar.

The Japanese aid will also be used to construct a rural health centre to provide healthcare services in Aibur village, Thantlang Township.

The grant was given as part of the six projects in Burma agreed on Tuesday by Japanese Ambassador Mr Tateshi Higuchi and responsible committee members.#
