AFGHAN REFUGEE SCHOOLS under CANVAS

Just across the border from Afghanistan, in Pakistan, is an Afghan refugee camp which is home to 22,000 families, many of whom have walked across the bordering mountains to escape the fighting in their own country.

Over 6,000 children aged between 6 and 15 attend several schools, all held in tents. The schools operate in the cooler months from September to May, as summer temperatures regularly reach 50 degrees centigrade which would make lessons in tents unbearable.


One of the pupils, who is six years old, told us that he lives with his mother, stepmother, four sisters and eight brothers; his father died in the war. He was very shy and had no great dreams of what he wanted to do when he grew up, but told us that he was keen to come to school and really enjoys learning.

The fact that more than 500 girls now go to school is a major achievement and one that is hoped will continue. The families living here are from a rural mountain area of eastern Afghanistan where traditionally girls are not educated, but now the importance of education is beginning to be recognised, albeit slowly.

These schools are very basic but they are providing children with an education that they would otherwise never have the opportunity to receive.


Can you help us to improve the quality of education available to Afghan refugee children whose own country has been devastated by 18 years of war?

Just Ł14 will help us to work towards this for each child.
