AIL is working to give refugees food and water, and re-establish shelter. This fall, AIL will re-open schools for children to begin their education once again.

Latest Update from the Field

The Struggle Continues

By Toc Dunlap - Executive Director, Creating Hope International, December 22, 2011 12:32 AM

The victims of the devastating flood in 2010 are still living in makeshift shelters and still trying to rebuild their lives.  The Afghan Institute of Learning hopes to make another distribution in early 2012 to these families.  As you may remember, 250 families were served in 2011, but there is so much work still to be done to help these families get back on their feet.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project.  We hope that you will consider continuing your support through next year.
