As the government takes least interest to provide basic facilities to the people of rural areas, two projects – a 250 KV hydropower station and an intermediate college for boys and girls – have been completed by the local community of Brep, in Yarkhun
The construction of the hydropower station would meet the entire need of more
than 650 households of Brep and Phashk and Mahting. It is expected that the facility would also be made available to other nearby villages that either do not have or have insufficient electricity of their own. With all these, the project would help reduce poverty and improve the living condition of the people of Brep in Yarkhun valley. The project is funded by PPAF through AKDN (AKRSP) Chitral. The formal inauguration by PPAF, AKDN and government officials is awaited.
The community-established Jubilee Intermediate College for Boys and Girls was inaugurated on August 14, 2008.
A large number of parents attended the ceremony and expressed the hope that the new college would go a long way in resolving their education-related problems and promoting education in the area.
