More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Twenty-five years of war have devastated Afghanistan. Roads, buildings, homes, and farms are destroyed. There aren’t yet enough schools and learning centers. In the midst of this ruin, the fall of the Taliban has brought a renewed sense of hope for peace. Many rural and poor Afghans aren’t waiting for the government and are starting their own learning centers for women and children in abandoned homes or other buildings. Five centers serving 2,350 women and children need training and seed money.

Activities

Project partner AIL will provide partial funding to ten Afghan organizations serving more than 2,350 students. AIL will also train their managers and teachers to strengthen and sustain their work despite ongoing instability and poor funding.

Latest Update from the Field

Summer Update 2010

By Sondra Johnson - Project Administrator, August 02, 2010 03:00 PM

More than 90% of AIL’s projects are community-based. Local community leaders work with AIL staff to develop requested classes and programs. Leadership qualities are taught in most classes to empower participants. One student said, “Now I am passing the 4th level class. I never I properly thanked AIL that I have become literate. My family is 10 brothers and sisters and it was very difficult for my parents, especially for my father, to pay school fees for all of us. Now I and my four sisters are in the center studying and I am very happy because my dream has become true. My reading is very good, and I try my best in writing as well. I want to do something for my parents in the future.”
