Two learning models

Education that meets students where they are.

Online education delivers digital lessons directly into homes, while community-based education turns local spaces into accessible classrooms.

Both models run in Kabul and Nangarhar, with each class serving 30 students.

Learning should stay within reach, even when a school is not.
