Help Afghans Learn Computing and Coding

Computing is a vital modern skill and graduates from AIL’s computing programs invariably gain jobs as well as being able to put their computing skills to use in private life.

In November, Herat provided computing classes to 105 students (including 20 females) and Kabul had 284 computer students. Unfortunately, local difficulties have resulted in the MBK, Kabul computer center closing permanently. The class had mainly male students, with only 10% being female. The 6 month Computer and English class is also not running. We will keep exploring ways to expand the computing classes we can offer.

Update on health clinics:  Our clinics are stretched to capacity and beyond with thousands of displaced people adding to the usual patient numbers. There is a shortage of medicines and of the Covid vaccine.  We have hundreds of people camping outside our facilities but we lack enough food, vitamins, Ensure and Pedialyte to help everyone who needs it. We desperately need funding, food supplements, clean water, hygiene supplies and Covid vaccines.  We plan to open two new health clinics in 2022 to help address the need.

AIL Outreach 2021: 23,905 students, 18,132 PPE distributed, 6 health clinics, 50-bed Covid-19 hospital, 95,593 patient treatments, 59,888 health education, 13,050 food aid families served, 22 radio broadcasts daily, 8 hours of TV programs, 12 provinces reached. 

Your support is vital in helping us maintain our programs.
