Sponsorship call for students from low-income families at a private school in Kabul

In the past two decades, Afghanistan made considerable progress in educational entrepreneurship. Private schools, tuition courses, and universities sprang up across Kabul that offered to some extent, quality education. After the collapse of the government on August 15th, 2021, these achievements are shrinking. Due to the economic collapse after the government collapsed, many families can no longer afford to pay their children’s school fees. Educational institutions are getting closed, and teachers are losing their jobs.

Spring season is approaching, and it's time for school registration. Last year, after I made a call on social media, friends sponsored 15 poor but talented students at a private school. This year, we plan to sponsor as many poor but hardworking students as possible to attend a private school. I invite those willing to sponsor students from lower-income families to continue their education in private schools. Due to the Taliban ban, girls cannot attend high school; sadly, you can only sponsor female elementary school students (below 6 grade).

Should you want to sponsor, leave me a private note or comment below. I will send you a list of students from which you can choose to sponsor. You can send the student’s annual fee ($100) to one of the school administrators and inform their family that you are sponsoring their child or directly send the fee to the student’s family. I will put you in touch with the school's administration and the student's family. To ensure your contribution is effective, the school is committed to updating you on the student's progress throughout the educational year.

This is a small effort to preserve a small part of pre-Taliban achievements on the educational front.

I scout Afghanistan media for stories about women that deserve wider attention. Whatever I earn on Medium, 50% will be donated to educating children in Afg.
