Support Education for Marginalized Kabul Children

One of Action for Development's staff members from the Geneva office traveled to Afghanistan, in July 2019, to visit the office in Kabul and the education facilities for the "school for street-working children" project. 

This is what she told us about her trip upon her return: "It was a pleasure and honour visiting the Kabul office and I would like to thank you for giving me such an opportunity. During my trip I was able to visit the school facility located in Kart-e -Char, comprising of 4 classes, and talked with teachers and students. All the classes had recently been decorated with colourful paintings and charts of numbers and letters. The commitment of the teachers and the enthusiasm and participation of the students gave me the impression of an environment of positive energy".

Kart-e-Char is a highly populated area and a commercial district of Kabul city; Action for Development's facility is located inside a business center, guaranteeing easy access to the children. The school is organized in four different rooms: one office space, two classes and the kitchen area, where a daily meal is served to all the children attending classes.

Given the high number of children attending school, classes are held both in the morning and in the afternoon; to accommodate the increasing number of children, Action for Development plans on expanding the school facility to include additional rooms; at the same time, we would like to improve the current facility with extra book shelves and the purchase of an electric generator.

We thank our donors for their generous support and we hope for continued support in order to provide marginalized children in Kabul the chance of attending school.

With our warmest regards,

The Team at AfD
