Afghanistan's first facility and school for people with disabilities
— SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Because of our goal of giving the neediest Afghans the opportunity to receive basic education, enhance their job skills and obtain work, we expanded operations to a career training and education center in Maidan Wardak.
Here we opened our first facility and school for disabled people. Each enrolled student has some type of disability — typically single- or multiple-missing limbs — and has had difficulty finding work and creating a living.
Our program in Wardak consists of two schools: one elementary school for young girls and boys (currently 200 students), and a training center for basic education and hands-on sewing training for disabled young adults.
