In 2008, Creating Hope International’s project partner, the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), has supported five pre-schools. AIL has model pre-schools in Peshawar, Pakistan (for Afghan refugees) and in Kabul, Afghanistan. For parents that can afford it, fees are charged in the model pre-schools. Poor students receive scholarships. AIL also supports pre-schools in one Women’s Learning Center in Kabul and two rural Women’s Learning Centers in Herat. 416 girls and boys attended the five pre-schools during the first six months of 2008.
In the Pre-School Education Program, the students are taught the following subjects: • Alphabet letters English and Dari • Dari • Math • Islamic issues • Drawing • Colors • Health • Sports • Music • Stories • Making projects • Introducing Names of Animals • Names of the countries
The mother of Sara, a pre-school student, said, “Before Sara came to this center, we put her in different pre-school programs and every day in the morning she was crying and she refused going to the school. But since she comes here she likes it and she has learned a lot. Now she is able to go to grade one and I as her mother thank AIL for providing this opportunity for the women and children".
