Share & SaveMore Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesAfghanistan, one of the world’s least developed countries, has limited technology or technically skilled people. It is vital for Afghans, especially women, to have information and communication technologies, the most powerful tools in the new globalized economy and a foundation for successful competition in the global market. Project partner AIL offers computer classes to about 162 students per month through its labs in Kabul and Herat, Afghanistan and Peshawar, Pakistan. ActivitiesComputer-training courses at seven locations will help rural and urban, female and male students develop technology skills. Students learn typing, the Internet, Word, and Excel. Afghans with technical skills in computers are immediately employable. Funding InformationTotal Funding Received to Date: $1,927 Additional DocumentationThis project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc). ResourcesWhy this Project is ImportantPotential Long Term ImpactComputer training gives students a competitive edge while seeking employment. Most are hired immediately upon completing the course and are in high demand in the workplace. Others choose to go to college instead of entering the workforce right away. Project Message
We need to learn modern technology to go ahead as companions with the people of the world. I thank AIL for providing facilities for females and teaching us computer for free so we can be self-reliant. Who is Running This ProjectContact

Latest Update from the FieldStories to ShareBy Alison Hendry - Administrative Assistant, August 22, 2008 12:45 PM My name is Mursal, I am a student at one of AIL’s centers. I love to learn, and when I saw that my friends were able to use computers and speak English, the international language, I began seeking a good course that would suit our cultural life. After a long time I found this center and saw that it was appropriate for me and I joined. Now I am studying Math, English and Computers. I am so happy to have a computer class here because many of the students really needed to learn computers as well as English. We want to thanks the AIL Office for establishing this class for us. We wish them the best of luck.
