New Medico-Social Annex for Motor-Impaired Opens in Ksar Jedid, Tunisia

Ksar Jedid, Tunisia, celebrated the inauguration of a new medico-social annex dedicated to individuals with motor disabilities on June 9, 2026. This facility, located in the Béni Khédache delegation, is designed to enhance the support and social inclusion of approximately 90 beneficiaries in the region.

The project, titled "Project for the creation of the medico-social annex for people with motor disabilities in Ksar Jedid," received funding of 269,530 Tunisian dinars from the Japanese Embassy in Tunisia. The funding was provided through the embassy's grant mechanism for local projects, which supports non-profit organizations in implementing initiatives that address fundamental human needs.

Managed by the General Association of Motor Impaired (AGIM) of Béni Khédache, the annex represents a significant step in improving access to medico-social services in rural areas. The Japanese funding mechanism, established in 1996, has supported numerous local projects across Tunisia, including educational and health infrastructure development, and medical equipment procurement.

Recent projects funded through this initiative include the acquisition of a transport minibus in Nabeul (2025), the purchase of a mammography machine in Sfax (2025), sustainable waste management in Nabeul (2024), and the installation of heating systems in 13 primary schools in Jendouba (2023). The new Ksar Jedid annex is expected to significantly improve the living conditions and access to essential services for people with motor disabilities in the area.
