Afghanistan has the one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. It has been estimated that two thirds of Afghan girls do not have access to education. We are determined to change this statistic by offering access to free education and healthcare to girls and boys in rural communities, who would otherwise be excluded. Our education initiatives aim to create equal opportunities in education for all children across Afghanistan.
Initiative we run a bring school to children initiative. We deliver full-time education that is aligned with the government curriculum for young children under the age of 15. This initiative specifically targets children who are isolated to geographically remote areas and have difficulty accessing the formal governmental schools. We track and increase enrollment and attendance for young girls who are most likely to be out of school.
We fund a number of apprenticeships and trainings in teaching, nursing and midwifery. We offer community teachers the Afghan Ministry of Education Program Training.
We donate much needed school resources such as workbooks, notebooks, literature books, teacher guides and national curriculum-related materials.
We donate food for free school lunches, making education appealing to the most disadvantaged families. We have also established food banks, where the most vulnerable can access daily food supplies and basic hygiene materials.
