About:
The Dyana Afghan Women’s Fund (DAWF) was founded in 2004 by award winning author, filmmaker and journalist Nelofer Pazira and run entirely by volunteers.
Starting in 2006 we have been providing a very successful literacy program to groups of women and girls in remote villages in Bamiyan province in central Afghanistan where schools and education services are very limited or non-existent. The students are eager to learn and actively share the new skills they gain with their families and community.
The literacy program consists of 5 levels, each 6 months in duration. On completion of the five levels the students have the skills and knowledge to continue their education or help them find employment.
A $20 donation buys a student her school supplies, $150 allows her to attend 6 months of classes.
Funds raised provide teacher salaries, classroom rent and locally bought books and supplies.
