The decades long Afghan conflict has had horrific impacts, including trauma and displacement on many Afghans. The majority of the primary victims of the conflict are those in poor and marginalized communities in Afghanistan which were traditionally centered around and dependent on subsidence agriculture and basic businesses. Members of these communities lost their livelihoods as a result of the conflict and displacement in the country. In addition, these communities comprise most of the illiterate, unskilled population in Afghanistan.  The negative impacts of conflict, combined with high rates of illiteracy and unemployment, has created a seemingly hopeless and unresolvable cycle of poverty.   

We empower the most deprived conflict-affected girls and young women with literacy and life skills to enable them to read and write and generate an income in order to bring a social change and poverty alleviation.
