Help Fund Scholarships for Afghan Students

Dear Friends, 

This project has a two- fold purpose, to support private secondary school students and also to support some of these as they go onto university. In Dr. Yacoobi’s Private Schools (2 in Herat and 2 in Kabul and one kindergarten) there are 2,137 students, 1,208 female. The scholarship recipients continue to do well in the private school learning environment. These children would not be able to attend this quality school without financial aid.

The second Herat school started as a branch out of the main school. The branch school has a total student body of 217, 115 girls and 102 boys. This project provides additional funds to students at this school. The funds donated are added in to make up scholarships. Most recently 41 scholarships were awarded to students including supplemental funds from this project. All the students and their families are delighted to receive support for their studies.

“I am Mohebullah one of the students at Professor Sakena Yaccobi private school and I thank Professor Sakena Yaccobi and the school manager for providing us with such pure education. The school management has provided me and many other classmates with great educational opportunities as there have been great scholarships available while providing a high standard of education. The scholarship saved my life since now I can attend all the classes and learn the update to date lessons.”

This project also supports 12 young people as they continue their studies at the university level. Currently, at Herat University there are 6 women and 3 men who have CHI scholarships. The women are studying different degrees including, law, psychology, mining and geology, history, computers and management. The men are studying mining and geology, computers and medical tech. In Kabul, at a university there are 3 CHI scholarship recipients, 2 women and 1 man.

Thank you for your continued support for education in Afghanistan.
