Day 3

Happy Third Day of Christmas giving! Today we'll be focusing on the education of children and young women, specifically in Afghanistan. Founded in 1995 by Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, the Afghan Institute of Learning has been run for an by Afghan women and positively impacted the lives of over 7 million. The AIL provides pre-school and primary educational services, advanced classes and school support for older children and teens, learning centers for mothers and women in the community, Human Rights & Leadership training, as well as specialty training in healthcare and economic empowerment. Because this is a locally founded and run program, the positive impact made by access to basic healthcare, education and economic training is sustainable, laying the groundwork for a more peaceful and successful sociopolitical future for Afghanistan. So check out the site, read their newsletter, look up Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, and don't forget to donate if you can.
