This project provides funds for poor Afghan children to attend school or high school and young adults to attend university. Getting a quality education opens doors for children to better lives through opportunity, employability and greater capacity with mental skills such as reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving.
Here is the story of one student attending a high School:
Kavoos is a 15 year old girl who is very interested in learning. She wants to become a teacher. She lives in a village near the school and has been there for 3 years. Her father is a farmer and works on land by the village. He gets some income which provides for the basic needs of this family. Kavoos’ mother also does chores at the master's house. She cleans, cooks and takes care of their stocks. Unfortunately, their combined income does not cover the cost of school fees and they removed Kavoos from school. She was sad about this. She told her teachers and asked for their help to get her back to school. She was delighted to be given a scholarship. Kavoos said, “School is a hope and an opportunity for me and my family. Thank you to my teachers and Professor Yacoobi for giving opportunity to poor children in this country. I can continue my education and become someone in the future.”
Thank you for your support.
SDG Goal 4 – Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
