Qdrat School

Rotary International receives its second of two installments of a $12,500 grant in support of the Qdrat School’s women’s literacy program in Northern Afghanistan. The school currently serves 405 students from 5 villages, educating both boys and girls in a grassroots effort. The program has expanded beyond elementary education to include an adult women’s literacy program. Women from within the broader region staff the program as literacy instructors, and in turn, the village women have incorporated literacy training into their home lives by teaching their husbands, creating a great demand for incorporation of additional villages.
