Support Afghan Girls Through Online Education

WDI Afghanistan online learning program provide as volunteer education opportunities for Afghan girls as they cannot go to school due to the Taliban restrictions.

"Every girl should get the opportunity to go to school and learn," said the fifth grader, Mariam.

And everyone should get an opportunity to do what they want to do.

Yal Bano: - I want to help to make sure that every girl in Afghanistan have the chance to study online, offline or via other ways."

The online education program started by Yal and Ayaz and the program has been ongoing for more than three years till now.

At first, we had 5 students, now by networks we have more students in classes and more others Waiting to join in new classes.

The program is like online school based on Afghanistan education systems and we use telegram app and google meet for classes. We only have 3 graduated students since August 2021. Some of our students who were graduated from school before Taliban took over, we applied for them at university of the people to continues online degree from inside home. 2 of our students, after graduation from online education program, help new students as their teachers.

The big picture or goal for the program is to give hope to students. And keep their hope alive in such a hard time. And the second goal is to give them the power of knowledge. And at the same time try to be as an opportunity for teachers or admins who worked before Taliban time, and they have work experience but due to the Taliban restrictions they are in home and face with hard lifetime. The program is 100% volunteer and by help of you all we try to provide access of internet for whole month for students and teachers. But sometimes or every month we try to have a small gift for teachers. We have teachers and admins from Afghanistan who live inside Afghanistan. One woman her Name is Anna she would like to have class as volunteer with students to help them with English Language and we are at third week and all happy. And one other woman her name Eda we will talk to see what to do and to see opportunity and all options for new computer programs and classes. and she is helping us what we can do for Afghan women in this hard time, and we appreciate it.

Benefits: -

1- As girls are banned from school in Afghanistan this is such a wonderful way to help them to learn with online programs.

Based on students’ and their mothers’ voices and messages they see to program as hope, and they are not any more with negative thoughts or depressions or think to kill their self.

One of my student’s mothers said, when The Taliban banned students from midwife education, one girl kills herself, so this kind of learning program is as hope for we all please continue it and keep the hope alive during these dark and hard time for our daughters.

2- As women don’t have the opportunity of work in Afghanistan based on Taliban restrictions. but they have degree and experience, and they also face hard life, online learning programs are great way if they help students and if possible, to have small gifts.

In one side they can use their skills and other hand they can help their children with daily life needs. Which is wonderful.

Why is WDI an online education program special?

As students said, other programs which they help students, they asked who have internet or phone or computer.

Some of students said we were joined to program, but we had no internet, so they removed us from program, and we became hopeless and disappointed again.

So, WDI program really focusses on students who DONT HAVE accesses to internet or personal smart phone or computer to see who really need help and provide for them opportunity to learn and internet which is wonderful, and we are grateful about it.

And at the same time, we help women who live in Afghanistan and don’t have men to work for them and they cannot work outside because of the Taliban restriction.

And as more areas of Afghanistan don't have Electricity we try to help and provide power bank for them.

Till school as we see school is open again for girls, we don’t have plans for graduation of students,

The plan is first they will learn then they will help new students as their teacher.

But After graduation of these students, we want to make sure,

Every Students and teacher have access to smart phone, power bank and a way to continue their life despites in this hard time and access to internet to raise their voice and Talk about their own rights.
