EBRD and We-Fi help teachers reconnect with students in Tajikistan Surrounded by rugged and snow-capped mountain ranges in the Sughd Region of Tajikistan, Gafurov College attracts the next generation of nurses, pharmacists and obstetricians to its accredited research and training programmes. There, the students benefit from the faculty’s modern laboratories, a fully-stacked library and even housing for those from far-away towns.
