In their words

Two young girls peek through an opening in a tent used as a classroom

“I want to be a teacher, like Ms. Shukria.”

Nazia, 11Yakawlang, Bamyan

Nazia's village is two hours' walk from the nearest school. Since a community class opened in a neighbour's guest room, she has learned to read and now helps her younger brother with his letters.

“The midwife came at night, through the snow. My daughter and I are both alive because of her.”

Gul Bibi, mother of four, Nili, Daykundi

“My pupils will be the first in their families to read.”

Rahim, community teacher, Surkh Rod, Nangarhar
