Winters in Kabul often reach frigid single digits. Students who attend Aschiana's education center cannot afford warm clothing, so winter poses a challenge. This year, Aschiana Foundation provided more than 150 of Aschiana's children with warm winter clothing like coats, sweaters, pants, and snow boots.
However, warm clothes aren't the only extra help that vulnerable students need during winter. After learning that classrooms weren't heated, we allocated some emergency funding so classrooms in the main Kabul center and two IDP camps could have heat throughout the three-month winter. Students were thrilled to learn that not only will they have new clothing, but their classrooms will be heated as well.
We're continuing to work with the Aschiana team in Kabul to figure out ways to better support the students and their needs. By working together, we can support vulnerable children so they don't have to work on the streets. Thanks to your support, Aschiana students can learn and grow in a warm environment this winter.
