Nadia an 8-year old girl from Aghanistan

In an Afghan village, girls attend school for the first time

At 8 years old, Nadia had never seen the inside of a classroom. She could not read, write, or count … but wanted to learn. In 2021, she got her chance when CAI established a school in her village. “School is important for everyone,” she says, “because we learn about ourselves and determine our futures here.”
