ASCHIANA IN REFUGEE CAMPS

Afghanistan children 2011

Once again Aschiana is demonstrating its commitment to help where the needs are most acute. Its latest push is taking place in the outlying areas of Kabul where new waves of internally displaced refugees are congregating. In such areas of abject desolation, where families huddle in makeshift tents, where water sources are scarce and living conditions are harsh, Aschiana operates out of tents, reaching out to the children and their families.

Aschiana is running six outreach centers, providing about 2,000 children with a space where they receive some basic education, including civics, social behavior, and religion. They also strive to help with the integration of the children in their new environment by introducing them to neighboring governmental schools and facilitating their transition.

The needs in the outreach centers are enormous, but the unanimous demand is for jobs or job training. Aschiana is hoping to start vocational training both for children and adults.
