AIL’s main purpose has been to empower women and girls in Afghanistan but the programs have always included boys and men. In February, there were 1,632 males in classes at the 21 Learning Centers in the Herat area. The most popular classes for boys are literacy, English, preschool and math.
AIL has other programs for boys including the special two year-long Leadership Class at the private Yacoobi High Schools which has 25 male students. In addition, the AIL Youth Club which has 105 members all at university, is made up of males and females. The youth club provides opportunities for these young men to discuss and learn about current issues and difficulties in society and how to apply democratic values, reasoning, good citizenship and advocacy as how to be creative thinkers. In February, the club learned about public speaking, team work and being a team player. There was much interest in attending an advanced computer class.
