Keep Afghan Children and Teachers In School

Thanks to the generosity and commitment of our supporters, Teach for Afghanistan Organization (TAO) continues to ensure that children in underserved communities have access to quality education and dedicated teachers.

During this reporting period, 11 generous donors contributed $2,202.56 to TAO's “Keep Afghan Children and Teachers In School” project. Your support helped TAO retain qualified teachers in underserved rural classrooms and provide them with the resources, training, and coaching needed to continue supporting students and improving learning outcomes.

A Story of Impact

Marzia Sahraye* is one of the TAO Fellows supported through this project. Marzia teaches in a rural school in Laghman Province, where students have limited access to qualified teachers and learning resources.

With support from GlobalGiving donors, Marzia was able to continue teaching throughout the reporting period and receive regular coaching and mentoring. Her Fellow Coach supported her in strengthening her teaching practices and introducing more interactive classroom activities. This helped create a more engaging learning environment where students became more confident in participating in lessons.

Your contribution did not simply support a teacher's salary—it helped keep a classroom open, supported a teacher's professional growth, and gave students a continued opportunity to learn.

How Your Donations Helped

During this reporting period, 11 generous donors contributed a total of $2,202.56 to support Teach for Afghanistan Organization's (TAO) “Keep Afghan Children and Teachers In School” project.

Four donors gave between $50 and $67, contributing a combined $217.20 toward Fellows’ monthly salaries and communication costs.

In addition, one major donor contributed $1,708.36, supporting Fellow salaries and essential program costs for six months. Together, these contributions have helped TAO continue supporting teachers and students in underserved communities by ensuring that Fellows have the resources, connectivity, and financial support needed to deliver quality education.
