They set out to offer Kankor prep courses for needy students to even the playing field. In FY16-17, more than 350 young women from four Mark S. Ward Christina Rocca provinces participated in the four-month course. The results are amazing. Vice Chair Member “In areas where 3 to 5 students would pass the Kankor exam for university, after [SKO’s Kankor prep class], now more than 50 students pass,” said SKO Aftab Khan Alice Thomas director, Wakil Karimi. Secretary/Treasurer Member In the current year, SKO is well on its way to helping even more students pass the exam and pursue their dreams. Stay tuned for future updates on their full impact!
