Support Education for Marginalized Kabul Children

We are facing continued challenges, however, AfD continues to provide education for marginalized children, especially girls, in Afghanistan.

To not contradict new rules and regulations set by the de-facto authorities in Afghanistan, AfD is continuously adapting its Education programs to reach the most vulnerable with our services. This way, in our school for street-working children, boys can continue to receive football training, and the children can receive a daily meal. Furthermore, in the next few months, we will enroll an additional 100 students into our program, letting us reach over 500 students between the ages of 6-13.

To be able to further provide girls aged 13-17 with schooling, secret home-based (community) schools were set up led by female teachers. Currently, AfD is looking into possibilities to set up a digital education system that allows girls to learn from home.

AfD’s project “Support Education for Marginalized Kabul Children” is essential in providing an education, the school lunch program, and basic needs to the students, who may otherwise go without and be left behind from the right of an education. We need your continued support.

In addition, in our effort to eradicate barriers to education and health for street-working children, young girls, and women in Afghanistan, AfD co-hosted an Intersessional Discussion on the topic "Transforming Lives Through Education: A Call to Action for Afghanistan" at the Palais des Nations in Geneva on June 2nd, 2023. 

Furthermore, Action for Development was a co-host for the Side Event of the 52nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council. Under the topic of "Unleashing the Potential of the Next Afghan Generation: Advocating for the Right to Education in Afghanistan", where 33 United Nations Member States discussed the importance of education in ensuring sustainable peace and development in Afghanistan.

Thank you for your support.
