Education
To advance education, our charity’s main focus is building and operating learning centers.
Building learning centers is not just an act of charity – it is an investment in our shared future.
Afghanistan is a country that is plagued by poverty. Where government schools lack resources and qualified teachers whom are not able to provide adequate education for their students. As a result, many students struggle and are left behind in their studies, then end up dropping out of school. This has led to a situation where supplemental education is urgently needed for students.
We believe that all children deserve access to quality education, our learning centers will provide supplemental education and the extra support students need to close the achievement gap and reach their full potential.
We build learning centers with adequate resources, hire and train teachers. Enroll, educate, nurture students and monitor the progress.
Learning Centers
The first step is to build learning centers with furnished classrooms, a library, computer lab, study and tutoring rooms with books and educational material. Make it a safe and secure environment for students to learn in. Teaching advanced subjects such as computers, graphic design, photogpray, math, and English. Also providing university preparations, vocational skills and career counseling. These learning centers will be located across the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Qualified Teachers
The second step is to hire and train teachers. These teachers must be qualified and experienced in order to provide quality education. Most importantly paying teachers a livable wage so they can focus on their students, which will undoubtedly lead to better educational outcomes. A center may have between 20-30 teachers. (1 teacher for every 20 students)
Girl & Boy Students
The third step is to enroll students in these centers. Our focus will be girls and boys from ages 13-18 years old. Once they are enrolled, it is important to educate and nurture them. This includes providing them with the necessary resources and support so that they can succeed in their studies. Finally, it is important to monitor the progress of these students. A center can have upto 400 students per day. (In Afghanistan girls and boys would need to have separate centers because of government gender segregation laws).
By building more learning centers today, we can provide more girls and boys with the opportunity to receive an education, so they can look forward to a brighter future.
In Afghanistan, many girls and boys do not have the opportunity to receive an education. With one of the lowest rates of female literacy in the world, only about one-third of Afghan women can read and write. Girls’ education is often seen as unimportant, and many families cannot afford to send their daughters to school. As a result, only about one-fifth of all Afghan students are girls.
Learning centers can provide children with a safe place to learn, as well as access to resources that they might not otherwise have.
By building learning centers today, we can provide more girls and boys with the opportunity to receive an education. We can help break down gender barriers and empower women and girls in Afghanistan. This will help them look forward to a brighter future.
