Our Programs

DAWF sponsors basic education and skills-training classes for women who were denied the opportunity for education during years of conflict and under the rule of the Taliban.

In 2006, DAWF began funding a basic literacy program for women in a remote village in Bamiyan. 22 women, ages 18-40 enrolled in that class.

The program consists of 5 levels, each 6 months in duration, and meets the requirements of the Ministry of Education. At the completion of all five levels the women will receive a diploma from the ministry that will allow them to continue their education and help them find employment.

In the autumn of 2008, we started a second literacy program in Shahedan village in Bamiyan province.

With the succesful completion of our first literacy program in late 2009, we were approached by the Regshad & Mulla Ghulam Women's Development Councils to start a new literacy program in the area. In May 2010 we started a new program in Reg-e-Shad which has 20 students enrolled.

The cost of six months of classes is approximately $150 per student. Funds raised provide teacher salaries and locally bought books and supplies.
