Afghan Literacy Foundation is a 501(c) 3 ID# 80-0376335 non-profit organization, whose mission is to provide resources to families and schools in Afghanistan in order to promote literacy and facilitate optimal learning environments. Three decades of war has left the Afghan people with huge gaps in education. Eighty five percent of the population has less than an elementary school education. For years, many schools have either been inadequate or nonexistent. The economic situation, since the war began in 1979, has gradually forced many people to pull their kids out of school and force them into child labor jobs in order to survive. This has created generations of uneducated laborers, who in turn cannot provide for their families.

Afghan Literacy Foundation hopes to break this vicious cycle of poverty and illiteracy and alleviate some of this suffering by financially supporting children so they may stay in school. We serve our mission by giving monetary support to students who attend school through our sponsorship program. Sponsoring a student and providing support to his/her family allows him/her to attend school instead of becoming a manual laborer. In addition, through our donors program, we help provide educational material and maintenance of basic school infrastructure to provide students with ideal learning conditions.

Students express gratitude to ALF sponsors.
