Shoe Drive for Afghani Schoolchildren

By Tahira Homayun | Project Leader

Shoe Drive for Moshwani Payn Village

Organization for the Advancement of Afghan Women is the main supporter of 2 public schools in Moshwani Payan village in Kalakan provence.

a) Middle School for boys = 283 students

b) Elementary school for girls = 198 students

Students walk to school about 2 to 3 miles. This village doesn’t have paved roads, uneven, covered by rocks.

Imagine how hard it is to get to school during hot summers with torn rubber slippers.

We have to help these students. The cost of a sneaker is $8-15

Total cost for 481 students if we pay $12 will be $5772

Background of Schools

Constructed and renovated in 2011, the Moshwani Payan Middle School for Boys serves over 650 students from grades 1 to 8 and has 45 teachers. The school has a library, volleyball court, outdoor playground, and a small garden. Our clinic, located within walking distance from the school, serves as the primary health center for these students. OAAW provides free dental hygiene lessons and distributes dental kits to the students at the beginning of each school year.

Constructed in 2015, the Moshwani Payan Elementary School for Girls is located approximately one mile north of our Moshwani Clinic in the village of Moshwani Payan. The elementary school serves 220 students from 1st to 6th grade. In 2016, OAAW raised funds to plant over 70 trees, build a new library, and a new volleyball court in order to give the students a pleasant learning environment. OAAW provides free dental hygiene lessons and distributes dental kits to the students at the beginning of each school year. OAAW currently seeks to buy more books for the new library.
