AFGHANISTAN (November 23, 2009) – Today CARE International, the Government of Afghanistan and the World Bank released Knowledge on Fire: Attacks on Education in Afghanistan, a groundbreaking study on violence against education in Afghanistan, looking at the factors that increase the risk of attack, and steps that can be taken to reduce the risk for students, schools and their staff.
The school motto, printed on the white board in the little school office, is simple: “Education is a necessity”. It is appropriate. A firm belief in that simple truth led the people of this community in Chipata, Zambia, to establish the Mchini Basic School for orphans and vulnerable children.
Coming from an extremely poor family, the road to holding office in the local village council (Panchayat) was a long and arduous one for Sukmati.
In FY2023, CARE worked around the world, contributing to saving lives, fighting poverty, and increasing social justice.
