Many of AIL’s 44 Learning Centers (LCs) provide Computing Classes, which are always popular with the young and with older students too. In the first part of the year, there were 604 computer students including 308 in Herat (166 female, 144 adolescent girls) and 296 in the Kabul area.
One Kabul center is exclusively for computer classes for boys. The manager of the LC had this to say, “This center is the only one in the area which provides good facilities for free . The families let their children join the course, because they do not need to pay and it will help their children learn a useful skill and in the future they could earn their living with this. Most of our graduates have joined banks, companies and government ministries. For example, Abdul, one of our graduates is a computer teacher in a village. Another student, Farooq is a computer teacher in Aqa Sarai Klakan District and Zubir has started his own computer and photoshop business in the bazaar. They admire AIL’s team and Dr. Sakena Yacoobi’s hard work, and they said that AIL has an important role in their success and in starting their careers.”
Computing skills change lives and provide economic opportunity to boys and men. Thank you for your support!
