Access to energy: Faryal's story - UNOPS Pakistan

Meet Faryal - one of 135,000 children in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province who now have a better learning environment thanks to solar-powered fans and lights in classrooms. In Pakistan, a lack of basic facilities in government schools contributes to low enrolment and high dropout rates – a problem that is especially severe in remote areas. To help improve school conditions and address low enrolment and high dropout rates, UNOPS teamed up with the UK government and the Saudi Fund for Development to install solar energy systems at more than ​1,200 schools across Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Watch Faryal's story to find out more.
