Sponsor a Classroom at the New Children’s Center
Help us support the completion and furnishing of the new Aschiana Children’s Center in Kabul. The new center is scheduled for completion in 2009 but will only be functional once its classrooms are outfitted.
It is estimated that the cost of desks and supplies is $1,200 per classroom. The Center will contain 24 classrooms to accommodate an estimated 750 students at a time in two shifts daily.
The new center in Kabul has been designed to provide a safe place for children to study, learn and grow. It will include space for classrooms, library, music room, gallery, bathrooms, a healthcare clinic, administrative offices, and a courtyard for recreational and outdoor activities. It has been designed using Afghan architectural elements and local materials, where possible. The outdoor space, contained behind walls around the perimeter, will provide space for play, sports and a garden.
Having access to these facilities in one place is rare for children in Afghanistan. The center will provide a place for children who have experienced great hardship to receive an education, acquire new skills, explore their creative side, and most importantly – prepare for a better future.
