More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Twenty-five years of war have devastated Afghanistan. Roads, buildings, homes, and farms are destroyed. There aren’t yet enough schools and learning centers. In the midst of this ruin, the fall of the Taliban has brought a renewed sense of hope for peace. Many rural and poor Afghans aren’t waiting for the government and are starting their own learning centers for women and children in abandoned homes or other buildings. Five centers serving 2,350 women and children need training and seed money.
Activities
Project partner AIL will provide partial funding to ten Afghan organizations serving more than 2,350 students. AIL will also train their managers and teachers to strengthen and sustain their work despite ongoing instability and poor funding.

Total Funding Received to Date: $2,309
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $87,066

Latest Update from the Field
A Special Giving Opportunity.....
By Sondra Johnson - Afghan Communities Thank You, November 10, 2009 03:47 PM
We wanted to share with you a very special opportunity to give more than 100% from November 10 through December 1st. Please share this with those you know who care. During this time, we are privileged to receive additional matching funds from your donation through Global Giving of at least 30%. The need is still great. Afghanistan struggles to become a country of strength and stability.
A woman who is taking the AIL beautician course says,” My friend told me about the quality education in the AIL center. I liked the beauty parlor class, and I got admitted to this course. Since I started learning this skill, I have found many friends in the center and community. This also helps me to find out what kind of make-up and hairstyle they like to have. I graduated from this course and started my own business. Day by day I learn more and increase my skill. Now I help many poor women by doing their hair dressing and make-up. This skill brings me a good income in my community. I can buy the tools and equipments I need for my beautician shop and I can provide better service for my people. I also help my family with my income- this is all because of the AIL center. I really appreciate AIL providing the opportunity for women and girls to change their life”.
