Translated from German via Google – Haji Sadar is a remote village in the Afghan province of Takhar. And like so many villages in Afghanistan, Haji Sadar had previously no school. To teach their children to read and write and thereby give them a better future, parents have simply taken the initiative themselves: Along with the education authority of Takhar, they not only teachers but also like somewhere to stay organized. A tent is now used as a replacement building and attracts children from all over the area. More than 500 students now come to school regularly.
But as important as the education tent at the beginning may have been a permanent fixture, it can not be. In summer it is sweltering hot in there – up to 50 degrees are not uncommon – and in winter cold unreasonable.
So that as more than an hour goes down, the Distriktentwicklungsrat has requested a separate building, which protects against extreme weather conditions. The wish was granted, in the context of the “stabilization program, Northern Afghanistan,” which carries out the KfW on behalf of the Foreign Office. This program aims to the living conditions of people in northern Afghanistan are noticeably improved by develop much-needed buildings, roads, bridges or other types of infrastructure in cooperation with local administrations and NGOs, such as experienced by the Aga Khan Foundation.
