ROSTAQ, AFGHANISTAN May 14, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed back-to-school kits to 250 students in Afghanistan.
According to Elora Bashir, program operations manager at Baitulmaal, the Noorullah Wafa school began as a single classroom with 30 students, and has now grown to a total of 250 students enrolled for the school year. These students were welcomed with back-to-school support such as uniforms, backpacks, textbooks, and stationaries.
“Education is a fundamental human right, and every child has the right to an education,” Bashir said. “By providing education to girls in Afghanistan, we can help ensure that all children have access to this right, regardless of their gender or socioeconomic status.”
According to UNICEF, Afghanistan’s education system has been devastated by more than four decades of continuous conflict. For many of the country’s children, completing primary school remains a distant dream – especially in rural areas and for girls – despite recent progress in raising enrollment.
Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Europe, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.
