Education Update

We are working hard to provide as many women and girls as we can with a quality education. Women who are educated support the education of their daughters. So far in 2015, 9,904 adolescent girls are attending AIL classes in Afghanistan. There are classes in math, literacy, sewing, English, Arabic, Dari and many other topics. Girls are also learning about health, leadership, elections, democracy and civil society. Lives are changing because minds are being opened to knowledge and self belief.

A student called Masouma said, “ I wasn’t doing anything when I came to this center. But they put me in literacy class and now I can read and write and soon I will be ready, and they will put me through public school. I want to continue my education as long as I can. I want to thank AIL, it has been a great opportunity for me.I don’t know what I would be doing without the center or the classes here.”

Thank you for your support.
