Help Fund Scholarships for Afghan Students

***There are only a few days left to donate in 2021! We would love your support for our projects. Thank you!*** 

This project provides financial aid to poor Afghan students so they can attend a quality high school and also provides for those seeking to continue their education after leaving school.

Currently, we are providing funds to 8 students attending university in the Herat area and 4 students attending in the Kabul area. The Herat students are aged between 19 and 32 with two female and two male. They are studying: computer science, education/geology, economics, English literature, accounting, nursing and psychology. The Kabul students are between the ages of 20 and 25 and studying, literature, law and politics, Sharia law and economics.

The four Yacoobi Private High Schools provide a high quality education for students with many of the teachers trained by the Afghan Institute of Learning. The subjects available include academics, sports, arts such as music and painting. In addition, there are classes in leadership, good citizenship, volunteering, social activism such as environmental clean- up. 

An administrator at one of the Herat high schools had this to say, “We are operating as usual and are currently working on a student art work exhibition and preparations for Teachers’ Day. We held a mini workshop on management for our teachers last month. I have been contacting the parents of students who have not returned to school following the political upheaval of the summer.”
