Literacy for Children in Afghanistan
​
Sara donates part of her book earnings to UNICEF’s "Let Us Learn: Equity in Education Project" in Afghanistan to help bring literacy and education to children, especially girls, everywhere.

​UNICEF’s Let Us Learn: Equity in Education Project seeks to establish 110 accelerated learning centers in Afghanistan, 
in six priority provinces over 2015-2019, benefitting 2,200 children.

​From UNICEF's website:
“Afghanistan has been in a state of complex emergency for over twenty years. About 70% of the population lives in poverty and the situation for girls is abysmal. Restrictions on mobility, cultural barriers, early marriage, shortage of female teachers, and poor educational facilities mean that 42% of Afghani children cannot attend school.” ​

"Accelerated Learning Centers (ALCs) are a part of Community Based Education (CBE) and are providing children a second chance to receive an education in remote and under- served communities where formal schools do not exist and/or are located very far from their villages. ALCs provide primary education, from grade 1 to 6 to children and adolescent boys and girls during the time span of three years."

The Let Us Learn initiative "will help establish 110 ALCs [accelerated learning centers] in six priority provinces in line with the new Country Program Action Plan 2015-2019, benefitting 2,200 children. Through the partnership with the Government and other organizations, the project will ensure the necessary deployment of teachers to keep appropriate pupil-teacher ratios, train them and improve their education to be able to use pro-active learning and teaching methods in the classroom and create a child friendly environment."​
