Approximately 50% of school age boys and 80% girls are illiterate. Our “Read Afghanistan” program provides original, customized and illustrated storybooks that have improved literacy levels by over 80% in primary and middle school grades. These bi-lingual storybooks offer additional opportunities for more advanced students who wish to learn English as a second language.

Each model school directly benefits 1,000-5,000 students per year, giving them a quality education and skills to prepare them to become productive adults. Other beneficiaries include 20-150 teachers, administrative, maintenance and security staff. |

The Taliban, warlords and others are burning schools, killing teachers and threatening students. If children are willing to risk their life to learn, what are we willing to do to help them?
