Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!
We thank you for the support you have given in 2015. Your giving has changed lives in many Afghan communities. There are only a few more days left in 2015 and donations of any amount are always welcome!
If you want to take advantage of this donation option - AIL has two projects in the 2015-16 Safer World Fund at Global Giving.
Safer World Fund is offering a 50% matching donation up to $1,500 per donor per project (until funds run out or the project gets the maximum match of $15,000.)
Just think! Your donation of $40 to help women with healthcare will be worth $60 AND your donation of $40 to Afghan education will be worth $60. The matching funds are limited time, so make your donation now!
Two eligible Projects:
1073 Save Rural Afghan Women and Children with Healthcare
1155 Fast Tracking Education for Afghan Women and Children
Education changes lives! Here is a story proving that!
Fatima was brought to the girls’ orphanage in Herat when she was about 8 years old by her relatives. Both of her parents had died and she had no brothers or sisters. She was very unhappy and devastated when she came. She went to school and, when AIL began working with the girls’ orphanage setting up a Learning Center and offering computer and tailoring classes in the afternoon, she joined them. She is now in the 8th grade and has excellent computer and tailoring skills. She works for a small NGO in Herat teaching their students tailoring and doing their computer work. They are paying her so she has begun to earn money for herself. All of this has transformed her!! She is happy, always helping the younger students with their homework and is looking forward to finishing high school, going to university and becoming a teacher.
There are 14,363 women and girls being educated at AIL Learning Centers each year. Through education women are empowered to take responsibility and direct the course of their lives and then they improve the lives of their families.
