Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Preschool graduates excel in primary school and beyond. Teachers, principals, and parents excitedly report the positive changes they see in preschool children. This model program is setting the standard for early childhood education in Afghanistan.

Project Message

The students who finish AIL preschool and come to our school are so intelligent that all the teachers are amazed. When we hear that a student has come to our school from AIL/PEP, we are very happy.

Latest Update from the Field

Snapshot (2008) of the Pre-School Project-Jan-July 2008

By Alison Hendry - Administrative, August 07, 2008 04:46 PM

In 2008, Creating Hope International’s project partner, the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), has supported five pre-schools. AIL has model pre-schools in Peshawar, Pakistan (for Afghan refugees) and in Kabul, Afghanistan. For parents that can afford it, fees are charged in the model pre-schools. Poor students receive scholarships. AIL also supports pre-schools in one Women’s Learning Center in Kabul and two rural Women’s Learning Centers in Herat. 416 girls and boys attended the five pre-schools during the first six months of 2008.

In the Pre-School Education Program, the students are taught the following subjects:
•   Alphabet letters English and Dari
•   Dari
•   Math
•   Islamic issues
•   Drawing
•   Colors
•   Health
•   Sports
•   Music
•   Stories
•   Making projects
•   Introducing Names of Animals
•   Names of the countries


The mother of Sara, a pre-school student, said, “Before Sara came to this center, we put her in different pre-school programs and every day in the morning she was crying and she refused going to the school. But since she comes here she likes it and she has learned a lot. Now she is able to go to grade one and I as her mother thank AIL for providing this opportunity for the women and children".
