Dear Donor,

we hope you are well in these challenging times!

As it’s been a while that you heard from us, we’d like to update you on the latest developments at the Mohammad Parsa Primary School in Kabul, Afghanistan:

May: The construction work is progressing as planned. In addition, both a workshop with our project partner OASE on project planning and implementation and a workshop on Methodology and Calligraphy for the teaching staff took place.
June: The structure of the building is taking more and more shape. Nevertheless, there are always hurdles to overcome during the work, which are associated with internal problems of the construction companies and generally the financial crisis in the country.
July: The construction almost came to a complete stop due to the financial difficulties of the construction company. As a result, OASE held a meeting with the construction company to discuss solutions.
August: The construction work could finally resume full speed! The next steps include: work on the roof, attaching the doors, building the well and painting the in- and exterior. The construction work should be completed by the end of August.

Despite these good news, the educational situation, especially for girls and women, has deteriorated drastically since the Taliban took power: 46% of Afghan schoolgirls are not allowed to attend school and many female school graduates have to abandon their studies or decide not to enroll because of the harassment of the Taliban. In addition to these problems, the country is facing a humanitarian disaster: 97% of the people in Afghanistan do not have enough to eat, the economy is idle and prices for almost everything are rising continuously.

Because of that, we and especially the Afghan people continue to rely on your support. Education is a human right and each completed school year reduces financial poverty by 12 %. So let's make a contribution and turn Mohammad Parsa Primary School into a quality learning place for the students!

Thank you so much and all the best,

Celine
