Following the Taliban’s takeover in 2021, Afghanistan plunged into a humanitarian and educational crisis. Millions of children—especially girls—were stripped of their right to learn, as the Taliban’s ban on secondary education for girls forced them out of classrooms and into an uncertain future.
With foreign aid dwindling and the economy collapsing, families faced an even harsher reality—crippling food shortages and widespread hunger. For many, the daily struggle was no longer just about education but sheer survival.
Our Solution: The Children’s Garden Project (CGP)
We believe education is a right, not a privilege—and we found a way to make it possible.
Education disguised as Agriculture
Our classrooms operate under a food security initiative, allowing us to bypass restrictions on girls’ schooling.
Growing food, growing minds
Students learn math, science, English, and Dari while also cultivating their own nutrition-rich gardens.
Sustainability & Community
We work with local leaders and families to ensure long-term success.
