More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan. No education has been available to women and girls in Kabul for the last decade under the Taliban regime. Recent patterns of civil strife in Afghanistan have destroyed about 95% of the infrastructure and services. The Kabul Women’s Learning Center serves about 2,000 women and children, with plans for service expansion during 2003.

Activities

This center offers teacher training, English, literacy, math, and computer classes. Skills like sewing and carpet weaving are also taught. Leadership and human rights classes teach women how to assert their rights in a culturally sensitive way.

Funding Information

This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.

Funding Policy: subsidized/guaranteed (Retired)

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

This project will result in the increased education of Afghan women in the region. The knowledge of income generating skills, as well as leadership skills will help these women to support themselves and their families.

Project Message

Women's Learning Centers have transformed the lives of Afghan women in Kabul. An Afghan wrote "The existence of these programs are like drops of water for thirsty people, like medicine for the blind."
