Our KOTS program began in 2017 in partnership with Resources with Young Afghans (ROYA) with the aim to keep school-aged children off the streets and in the classroom.
Through KOTS we provide financial assistance to children from low-income families who would otherwise be forced into labour. This support enables them to access valuable educational opportunities. The financial assistance covers school enrolment fees, monthly school fees and English language and computer training classes.
Following the Taliban takeover in 2022, our KOTS program in Afghanistan was forced to be temporarily suspended.
To ensure that children’s education is continuously supported, we have partnered with Rahnaward-e-Noor High School in Ghor, Afghanistan. Ghor is an impoverished province in central Afghanistan that faces significant challenges with poverty, limited access to education, healthcare and infrastructure issues.
In 2023, we supported 20 students and in 2024, we welcomed an additional 8 new students. We are now proud to support a total of 28 students in Afghanistan and excited to introduce them to you.
*Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, we can only introduce a limited number of students.
