More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Afghanistan is among the world’s least developed countries with 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, the Afghan Institute of Learning offers computer classes to about 65 students per month through its labs in Kabul and Herat, Afghanistan.
Activities
Scholarships for a 6 month computer training course will help 10 students develop technology skills. Women and men study typing, internet, Word, and Excel. Computer skills are an asset for people living within Afghanistan’s struggling economy.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Computer 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.
