Topics:

Summary: This project provides 100 mothers with basic literacy program for a three months period of time per term in the rural villages of Afghanistan. The project will empower women with self-sufficiency.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries: 100MLP addresses the greatest means to all other issues, illiteracy. The main focus of 100MLP is rural areas of Afghanistan that never had school before. However, our project began in a small village, Eskar located in the northeast of Afghanistan.The project provides teachers, books, stationaries, facilities, and anything necessary for basic literacy training.

Activites: We provide a classroom of 10 - 15 mothers with a teacher, and supplies for 100 mothers per term (3 months. Provide training for teachers who has not necessarily taught before. We hold class workshops on health and child care topics)

Resources:

Each weekday between now and May 8th, I'll be posting one or two project profiles of students participating in the annual Global Engagement Summit-GlobalGiving Project Challenge. The Challenge is a chance for students from around the world to raise money for and spread awareness about their projects. Students that mobilize also have a chance for additional matching resources. If you're interested in supporting this work, Tweet or blog about it or visit the project homepage on GlobalGiving.
