The Latest News

The Board of Directors has announced its intention to organize a campaign for School Project II, a school in the community of Guzar-Payan, a few miles from our first school, the Khalil Zaman Girls School in Jabul Seraj. This was prompted by the urging of community members from Guzar-Payan to meet the needs of their children, their intention to donate land for this purpose, and the endorsement of the Afghan Ministry of Education. Based on the School Project I cost of $165,000, it is estimated that School Project II will cost about $185,000 for the structure and basic furnishings. The children now meet with teaching staff in an open orchard and under tents, weather permitting. See Photo Gallery for pictures.

Khalil Zaman Girls School is now holding classes in two sessions for 1200 students: girls in the morning and boys in the afternoon. Classes and curriculum were recently expanded to allow girls to attend through 9th grade - a rare opportunity outside Kabul. Advanced "winter session" classes in English and Math are also underway. A small follow-on project has been completed to construct a multi-purpose concrete pad that will assist in administrative activities such as attendance taking and extra classroom space for examinations.
