Women's Networking Movement
The Afghan Institute of Learning is very excited to have been given the opportunity to blog at Huffington Post! Our first blog about the Women’s Networking Movement taking place in some of AIL’s centers has been posted. The Women’s Networking Movement is taking place in about 30 of AIL’s centers, schools and clinics. The women coming to these centers are sharing thoughts and ideas in ways that have not been possible until recently.
To learn more about the Women’s Networking Movement, check out our blog at Huffington Post!
Creating Hope International, AIL’s partner, has set up a Facebook page where we will be sharing more news, pictures and information about AIL’s programs. Make sure that you ‘Like’ Creating Hope International on Facebook to get all the latest news!

Educating Boys for a Brighter Future
By Alison Hendry | Program Administrator
On behalf of Creating Hope International (CHI) and the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), we would like to thank you all for your generous support for the ‘Help Afghan Boys Trade Guns for Books’ project. Although our learning centers focus primarily on educating women and girls, we never turn away students who seek education to better their lives. There are a significant number of Afghan boys who also need education. Although males have a higher literacy rate than Afghan females, the rate is still well below 50% nationwide. By helping Afghan boys obtain an education, we hope to pave the way to a brighter future for all Afghans.
In January of this year, we helped to educate 3,651 boys in 33 learning centers, 5 pre-schools and 3 schools in Pakistan. Our boys are taking courses in a variety of topics, such as literacy, English, Arabic, mathematics, and computer technology. Boys are getting an education to better the quality of life for themselves and their families, and they are receiving training they could never have acquired otherwise. They are getting careers as interpreters, administrators, and computer technicians. They are denouncing violence and are promoting human rights and education. Our organization continues to grow, helping a growing number of students, both male and female. We thank you all very much for your unwavering support!

Happy Holidays from CHI and AIL
By Alison Hendry | Program Administrator
The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) and Creating Hope International (CHI) would like to wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. As you celebrate with those you love, please take a moment to look at CHI’s yearly newsletter, which we’ve attached to this report. As you will see, 2012 has been a transformative year for AIL and CHI. After years of working tirelessly to provide education, training and healthcare to Afghans, we are beginning to see a real change. The minds of those AIL works with are being opened to the possibility of a peaceful Afghan society.
AIL is in the process of finalizing a 5 year funding plan, which will be put into place beginning in 2013. We are looking forward to sharing the details of this plan with you soon, and hope that you will find it in your heart to give generously to help us reach our goal. The people of Afghanistan are making great strides, but our work is not done yet. Instead of backing down, we need to push ahead and continue to give Afghans the tools they need to create a more peaceful country. We are hoping that we can count on you to help continue our work.
