In Baghlan province, the Kator Foundation has opened accelerated learning centers for girls who have been out of school — some for many years. The centers use a condensed curriculum that allows students to cover several grade levels in a fraction of the normal time, so a girl who has lost three or four years of schooling can catch up to where she should be.
For an out-of-school girl, every year that passes is a year harder to come back from. The longer a child is out of the classroom, the less likely she is to ever return. Accelerated learning was designed exactly for this situation. It meets girls where they are, moves at their pace, and gets them back on track without forcing them to start over from the beginning.
This work is made possible entirely by our donors. Your support pays the teachers, provides the materials, and keeps the doors of these centers open for girls who would otherwise have no path back into education at all.
We believe that no girl is too old to learn, and no missed year is too far behind to recover from. These centers are proof of that. The girls who walk through their doors leave with skills, with confidence, and with a future their families thought was no longer possible.
