Helping needy Afghan boys
By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer
![]()
Getting boys back in school and on track to catch up with their peers is one of AIL’s goals. One of its Learning Centers called the Street Children Center currently has mostly boys in their care. The boys are provided with a place to learn, getting them off the streets, and given health care. The facility currently caters to 130 boys ages 4 to 17. Some attend lessons and once they have reached the appropriate level they are taken daily to a local school to continue their studies. The center also teaches these children how to behave, dress, eat properly and do chores so they can learn social skills after having lived on the street.
AIL reaches boys at the lowest levels to start literacy and eduction but it also works at the other end providing libraries and books for boys to read once they have become literate. AIL has an ongoing commitment to the library at The Citadel in Herat. AIL is also setting up small libraries in its Learning Centers and one center in Herat recently reported that it has redesigned its library space. The center students were using old books so new ones were purchased and now there are 500 books available for all students. The boys and girls are issued a library card so they can access the books. Everyone loves the space and the books!
Thank you for your interest in literacy and boys education in Afghanistan.
