Since 2007, the Womanity Foundation has supported Afghanistan’s largest girls’ school – the Al Fatah School in Kabul – to become a model of excellence in girls’ education (infrastructure improvements and training). Based on this experience, the innovative “School in a Box” program was launched in 2011 with the support of the UBS Optimus Foundation and in partnership with Afghanistan Libre. This program prepares 11 schools for girls (2011 to 2014) to become models for girls’ public education. Meanwhile support for the Al Fatah School continues.
The “School in a Box” program organized in 2012 teachers’ training modules in English, Dari and Pashto languages, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information and communication technologies. With our partner, Afghanistan Libre, we run tutoring classes for the National Entry Exam to University; we organized sessions to sensitize the population to the importance of girls’ education. “As program director of the “School in a Box – Afghanistan”, but also This effort is already benefiting 7,450 Afghan girls (and 2,550 boys) as a father, I recognize the importance of girls’ education that was aged 6 to 18 studying at the first 6 participating schools in Kabul, so long neglected in our country. When women receive an education, Paghman district and Punjshir province. Meanwhile, 384 teachers and they contribute largely to prosperity.” staff are receiving tailored training to improve their competences. Plans are being made to reach 6 more girls’ schools by 2014.

Since 2007, the Womanity Foundation has been collaborating with INSAF, a Moroccan NGO, in the fight against the exploitation of little girls from poor rural areas. The project facilitates the return of girls between the ages of 6 and 12, who are exploited as maids, to their family and to school. The girls receive support until the end of their mandatory school years. Wherever possible, the project facilitates their access to secondary education.
To date, nearly 200 young girls have been removed from the hard life of domestic labour, re-integrated into their family and enrolled in school. Through our local partner, INSAF, we also advocate to eradicate girls’ labour throughout the country. “ My entering to college is the most positive thing that happened to me in 2009 because it gave me hope for a better future.”
Saadia, 15 years, former ’little maid’.
