Aid Afghanistan for Education

Educating street-working kids and girls who are banned from education AAFE also provides food items to the students' families every month.

Afghanistan's education system was severely disrupted by the Taliban takeover in August 2022. AAE had to close the most successful accelerated education program that reached over 7000 female students across the country, in the past 20 years. AAE has now relocated to the US and rebranded itself as AAFE, Aid Afghanistan For Education. AAFE is helping the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Afghanistan, who are forced to work on the streets to support their families. AAFE works with teachers from different private schools to identify these children and arrange meetings with their families. The goal is to break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy in Afghanistan, which has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world. Under the current regime, girls and women are denied access to education beyond sixth grade and are barred from attending university. AAFE is setting up online classes to help this sector of society and to ensure that every girl/woman receives an education and can realize their potential.

When Adeena Hasan, a university student in Bangladesh, began working with AAFE, she knew she would be teaching. What she didn’t expect was just how much she would learn in the process.

In A Bridge Between Nations, Adeena, our volunteer teacher, writes about meeting her students, hearing their stories, and getting to know the people behind the headlines in Afghanistan.

Today, we’re sharing her story, and learning that the connection between teacher and student reaches far beyond the classroom.

The little song, the smile, the joy of being at school. This is Naisan enjoying her break. ❤️

No child dreams of spending their days working, but sometimes family circumstances leave them with little choice.

With the right support, more children can have what Naisan has: a chance to go to school, learn, and enjoy being a child.

Some of our favorite school moments are the simple ones: a child eager to answer a question, friends figuring something out together, or a classroom full of children ready to learn something new.

Here’s a little look at our third graders and their days at school. 💛

We see and share information every day, but not everything we come across online is true.

For Global Media and Information Literacy Week (October 24–31), we’re sharing a simple message: take a moment to question what you see before passing it on. A rumour can spread quickly, and once it does, it can be difficult to correct.

Knowing how to find information matters. Knowing how to check it matters, too.

At work, understanding medical information can help her learn more about the field she works in. That’s one reason she’s working on her English.

For Afghan girls who are shut out of education beyond grade six, access to practical skills matters.

Your donation to GlobalGiving’s Safer World Fund will be matched, helping AAFE continue its online English and computer classes for Afghan girls.

Please share this post to help more people learn about the classes and support the work.

Owais knows numbers from helping his family at their small shop. Now, as he learns more math at school, he’s understanding the numbers he encounters there in a new way.

He wants to get better at math because he hopes to have a good job when he grows up.

For Owais, what he learns in the classroom has a place in the life he lives outside it, too.

Every child deserves to grow, learn, dream, and feel safe.

That starts with giving children the chance to be children, with time to learn, play, and discover what they love.

Every child deserves that chance.

Being back in a classroom means something different when you’ve spent time without one.

For our student, having classmates and a teacher again means being part of a class, sharing the experience with others, and having something she’s eager to make the most of.

We’re glad she’s back in class and continuing to build her skills.

A child can be the first to do something no one in their family has ever had the chance to do.

For Mohammadullah, that’s going to school.

He’s learning to read and write, experiencing school for the first time, and dreaming of becoming a doctor.

Many of our students are the first in their families to attend school. When their parents never had that opportunity, seeing their children learn means the next generation can have choices their parents never did.

That’s how change can begin: with one child getting a chance their family never had.
