Opening Doors of Opportunity -- Helping Afghan Girls Continue their Education

1d ago
SOURCE  

Description

CARE's Lower Secondary Community-based Education for Girls project is providing rural Afghan girls with a long-denied opportunity to continue their education beyond sixth grade. In addition to completing their required coursework, girls also learn vocational skills such as teaching and health education, so that they can either find employment or continue their studies once they graduate from the CARE-supported schools. Watch how CARE is working with local community leaders, parents, teachers and students to challenge traditional beliefs that limit girls' education in Afghanistan.
