Happy New Year 100 Mothers Literacy Program Supporters!
I am so pleased to share with you that we have had a very significant year here at 100 Mothers Literacy Program. Eighteen mothers have completed a nine months literacy course and six months of tailoring vocational class.
Eighteen mothers were given sewing machines upon completion of their course. Some of these mothers were proud to say that they were able to make clothes for their own children and husband last Eid (an Islamic Religious festival) instead of buying from the markets. A few of women continue to make a small income from sewing clothes to their neighbors.
Mothers are on their winter holidays and Kabul just had its first snow. Meanwhile, we are busy planning for this year’s activities. Based on evaluation of our current circumstance and challenges we faced last year, we are not very sure whether we will be able to continue to hold regular literacy courses. We have observed that a number of other learning workshops can benefit families and women. We are looking forward to hold follow up, educational, and thematic workshops for women. They have shown more interest in workshops of short-term nature than committing to long-term ones.
We wish to raise awareness about different thematic important issues among families and women through these workshops.
Thank you for your support thus far and I hope that you will continue to support us.
With best wishes for a successful and happy year,
Rahila Muhibi
