Afghanistan's education system has been devastated by more than three decades of sustained conflict. For many of the country's children (especially for girls), completing primary school remains a distant dream specifically in rural areas.

Despite the Taliban ban on all the girls above grade 6 from school since they took over political power, there are opportunities that can be capitalized on to facilitate home-based education. This kind of education would focus on local communities men and women to teach local children at their houses instead of going to their local schools which are banned for girls above grade 6. Afghan girls have already lost more than one year since the ban was effected. Despite the demands of Afghan people and the international community from the Taliban authorities to allow Afghan girls to go to schools, the likelihood of the success is dim for the near future. To prevent the waste of further time for the girls, there is an urgent need for improvising and managing educational opportunities in local communities. The foundation will be able to manage this issue by creatively supporting local communities with their consent within the Afghan cultural values to initiate home-schools.

Addition to that, the socio-political and humanitarian crises that Afghanistan faces critically affect a fragile education system and community development. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides exacerbate the situation for all children. These factors raise parental concerns about safety and can prevent them from sending their children to school.
