Over the last 20 years…
Aid Afghanistan For Education started to help the refugee camps by supplying the children with books and stationery and paying teachers’ salaries in 1995. In 1999, five clandestine classes for 250 girls were established in Kabul.
In 2003, the organization was registered with the Ministry of Economics of Afghanistan. After a two-month assessment, an innovative accelerated education program was launched for girls and women who were deprived of education during the years of war and those who didn’t have access to the formal education system, due to age, marital status, or lack of documentation. This was the only accelerated education that allowed the students to complete their high school within 8 years. All the graduates received an official high school certificate from the Ministry of Education based on an agreement between the Ministry and AAE.
Over 7000 female students attended 13 schools in 9 provinces. More than, 2700 students graduated from high school. Most AAE graduates pursued higher education and became breadwinners of their families.
