CREATING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN A REMOTE AREA OF AFGHANISTAN

Turquoise Mountain currently runs two schools for the weavers’ children in Bamiyan and serve 120 students a year. The schools are managed by skilled local teachers, and have pre-school as well as English classes for students up to the age of 20.

The teaching staff are supported with materials and resources to offer high-quality education. As many of them come from underprivileged backgrounds, pre-school students are also provided with uniforms and meals.
