I'm raising £5999 to support THJ schools & educate vulnerable children in Afghanistan
Organised by Helmand Journal
Story
The Helmand Journal (THJ) is the first Afghan magazine which represents the most vulnerable and war affected areas.
Recently THJ has initiated building schools in those remote areas where thousands of children couldn’t read and write because of the unavailability of schools for the past 20 years.
An estimated 3.7 million children are out-of-school in Afghanistan 60% of them are girls.
The Helmand Journal has built its first school in a remote village of Helmand and second one in Zabul province. We provide free education and give stationary materials to every reachable kid in these villages. We hire teachers for them and pay them monthly salary which helps also the teachers to support their families.
We are raising funds to help and build primary schools in these remote villages of Afghanistan where children haven't been introduced to schools.
A girls education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity.
The children of today are gearing up to become adult citizens of tomorrow. School is the foremost fountain of knowledge children are exposed to.
Our goal is to promote education, by building schools and providing spaces and resources for learning. We hope to accomplish this by introducing various educational programs and awareness of the importance of education and its impact on the knowledge and skills of children who will become the future decision makers of their country.
We'd be very grateful for any help in raising funds as there is so much work that can be done in making remote areas in Afghanistan functioning.
