Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 19, 2018, officials including the mayor, Mupenzi George, in Nyagatare (尼亚卡塔莱市, a border town in North Eastern Rwanda) pleaded PowerChina, a Chinese company implementing another project in Rwanda, to help fix the obstructed road after heavy floods. On May 20, 2018, PowerChina sent workers and eventually fixed the important route, which connected people in villages with the outside world. The repair took 10 hours.
