English is an important skill that opens up new opportunities and broadens horizons. In Daikundi, many people understand the importance of education. However, for kids in rural areas, a class is only accessible if it is in walking distance. Thus, we try to meet kids where they are, and we have set up classrooms in ten different remote villages, using private houses, mosques or whatever else might be available as class rooms. Our team of highly motivated female English teachers offer classes four to five times a week, an hour per class. As of February 2026, over 1000 kids have been attending the courses.
For new classes, we buy school books and other material for the courses. The basic setup for a classroom includes a carpet to sit on, a whiteboard, markers and a loud speaker. We cannot afford chairs and desks for the students, but people are accustomed to sitting on carpets. This gives the teachers more flexibility to accommodate high numbers of students.
We create rare job opportunities for educated women in rural Daikundi. Please support our teachers:
