More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Most Afghan professionals fled the country during the decades-long war or were killed. Afghanistan’s emerging leaders are new to these roles. Afghans, especially women, are eager to participate fully in the reconstruction of their homeland. They want to build on the gains that have been made to protect human rights, advance democracy and civic involvement, and develop capable organizations and institutions to bring healthcare and education to every Afghan.
Activities
60 Afghan leaders will learn management, collaboration, goal setting, and communication skills and how to integrate peace and human rights concepts into the workplace. Each of the workshops lasts 10 to 15 days.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Past workshop participants have convinced their families to allow women and girls to go to school and receive healthcare. Some have become candidates for Parliament or political appointees. Others have developed their own educational organizations.
Project Message
We used to believe that just males can be leaders. During this workshop, we learned that women are not weak. Women are able to become leaders, obtain their rights, and use them in a positive way.

Latest Update from the Field
A Special Giving Opportunity.....
By Sondra Johnson - Future Afghan Leaders Thank You, November 10, 2009 03:49 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.
AIL often has additional ‘mini’ workshops to address a specific topic. After such a workshop that focused on leadership and peace and how to implement peace, two of the participants took their knowledge a step further:
Kubra went and created a leadership workshop where more than 75 people attended.
Mohammad created a foundation to help support 30 families. He receives money from the organization and helps the families with basic needs and food. Mohammad then talked with donors to assist in the vision of to creating a road to Shakadara.
