Afghanistan is facing a critical moment in which international assistance is urgently needed to prevent the collapse of its education system.
However, according to UNICEF, more than 4 million children are out-of-school, with more than half girls. The complex economic and humanitarian crisis engulfing the country is expected to worsen in the coming months
This fast-deteriorating situation threatens to trigger one of the worst education emergencies in the world.
Global Education believes that to mitigate the crisis; Education must be prioritized. This belief led GEC to start its one-room school program in Afghanistan.
With the help of dedicated and hard-working volunteers, GEC established 133 one-room schools across Afghanistan. Though the call on GlobalGiving helps us raise $10, the Global Education Campaign multiplied the effect by 1000x by contributing about $15000 to reach out to 5185 children.
In the one-room school model, the community leads the initiative by providing space, and a volunteer teacher and GEC provide a School Starter kit to kick start the school.
The lunch program is in effect in Afghanistan, where home-cooked meals are served to the students at the volunteer teacher's homes.
We are reaching only a few, but we can reach more with your help and generosity. Join us in helping Afghan children to receive an education.
Thank you
