Educating Afghans through Radio/TV

Project Report | May 8, 2017
TV station building and planning

By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to let you know that an AIL project has been selected as one of only six projects in the GlobalGiving Girl Fund! The project is 921 Afghan Institute of Learning Empowers Afghan Women. This project will receive one sixth of the donations made during the rest of this year to the special fund!

We would not have been selected for this opportunity without the support we received in the month of March from many donors such as yourselves. Great team effort! Thank you!

Project Update

The building work continues and the new projected completion date is June this year.  This top most floor will house the new TV Meraj station as well as provide space for classrooms for the new Yacoobi Private Women’s University which is in the planning stages.  These floors will need to be furnished and equipped. The building already houses the private Radio Meraj so the TV station will be able to use that antenna, a significant cost saving.

There is close collaboration between Meraj Radio and TV as staff work together on the projects. There are few full time staff and the part timers take on many jobs.  Staff said this, “We are working on programs and concepts  including language education (English, Farsi, Arabic, Pushto), philosophy, poetry, drama, human rights, core values, news, Afghan music, movies and call in shows. We want to offer variety to interest people and educate them.”

Thank you for your continued interest.
