Students Reaching Across Borders Making a Better World Together
Kids 4 Afghan Kids has helped transform the lives of many families and kids in Afghanistan. We are an organization that is driven by American students to make a better world for their fellow students in Afghanistan. Our organization goal is to re-establish educational facilities for boys and girls in Afghanistan.
Kids 4 Afghan Kids has been able to raise over 1.5 Million dollars to help support the needs of not only the kids of Afghanistan but also help provide vitamins, schooling, housing, medication and more.
Founded in 1998, Kids 4 Afghan Kids has established 21 years of successful work in addition to helping shape, mold and excel lives in Afghanistan.
In addition to providing schooling, medication, housing and more- Kids 4 Afghan Kids has helped support over 500 families with providing clean water.
Since founded in 1998, we have helped and supported clinics, hospitals, orphanages and schools in Afghanistan. Kids 4 Afghan Kids has raised over 1.5 million dollars, along with impacting more than 500 families with clean water.
While constructing the first school discussions developed around the fact that the children of the village had never had the opportunity for health care. We decided that it was necessary to provide health care in order for our students to be healthy.
During a visit in 2002 it became evident that the next big need was for an orphanage. We had 35 boys living in their classroom. They would roll up their mats in the morning before school started, then attend classes during the morning. They would tend the gardens in the afternoon and then after the afternoon classes finished they would unroll their mats to sleep at night.
On the adjoining land, we have built a hospital. It has allowed for more room for patients to stay the night, operating rooms, and more options for complete care than our current medical clinic.
We began thinking we would build a one room school house. That thought grew into a 6 room school. We projected that 140 students would attend school. We had an agreement with the village elders that both boys and girls would attend school. Respecting cultural norms, we had boys attend school in the morning and girls in the afternoon.
