Relief and Education for Afghan Children

Educating Afghan Children, both Girls and Boys
Text Box: Classroom in Desorkh

REACH is dedicated to educating children, especially girls, in rural Afghanistan.  REACH started building schools in rural areas of Afghanistan in 2002. Rural areas, in general, have been given a lower priority for school construction by the government due to limited resources.  We have finished our fifth school in the rural area northwest of Herat, Afghanistan.  There are now over 1400 students enrolled in the schools we have financed.

Building schools in rural Afghanistan

In rural areas, where three-fourths of all Afghans live, 90 percent of the women and more than 60 percent of the men are illiterate. Under Taliban rule, girls were not permitted to go to school.
