Help us support our home-based IT and coding project for 110 Afghan girls aged between 14- 25 years. Through this initiative, we're providing a transformative learning experience for Afghan girls in three home-based centers across Balkh, Afghanistan. By equipping them with valuable IT and coding skills, we're not only enabling them to secure better jobs and financial stability in the future but also dismantling gender barriers and accessing online education - a rare opportunity for Afghan girls.
In March 2023, the ban on girls' education in Afghanistan was extended indefinitely. Girls and women are now banned from learning past grade 6. Compounding this issue is the limited access to computer courses in remote areas and for economically disadvantaged students, making it challenging for them to receive basic computer skills training. The traditional views on women and girls' education further exacerbate the problem, restricting their access to such courses due to safety concerns.
Our program bridges the digital gap in Afghanistan by empowering women to learn and practice computer skills. We provide IT and coding courses, blending theoretical and practical lessons for hands-on experience. Courses run for three to six months and cover computer basics, MS office, and website building. Our initiative enables girls to develop a solid foundation in these skills, preparing them for future careers. By supporting us, you're helping girls acquire essential skills for their future.
The impact of this project on the social and economic development of Afghanistan is significant. By removing gender barriers that have historically limited opportunities for girls, we are empowering them to actively participate in the digital economy and contribute to the development of their communities and country. Not only will this project have a direct effect on the girls who participate, but it will also create a ripple effect on their families, communities, and future generations.
