"If one woman can gain an education, the lives of
many are positively affected." - Doris Aldrich
The Hope of Water: A returnee camp is in need of water and agricultural
projects, since survival is now the urgent need for thousands of misplaced
Afghan citizens. We have sent our specialist there to evaluate solutions. This Spring a
pilot program for training women to grow specific crops for sale and consumption
will be in place. The new wells will be the source of a future animal husbandry
program for women in this camp. We welcome your call and inquiry concerning this
micro-enterprise program.
The Kabul, Afghanistan Women to the World Language and Technical Center has
embarked upon a unique remote training program for the more than 400 women currently enrolled.
This private compound is secure and safe, providing a tailored curriculum aimed at enabling all
all students to become highly qualified to meet employment requirements, teaching all classes
English, using Microsoft Office disciplines. Advanced English and
Accounting Systems are also a part of this technical training program for
women. Each woman needs a sponsor. We welcome your scholarship, and upon
your request you may begin to communicate with her through e-mail.

In recent years, Women to the World former director
and current board member Margaret Cudney has overseen the development of a Women to the World
sponsered school, secured staff housing for Women to the World workers and has
witnessed lives transformed and hopes renewed following the ravages of war.
Margaret, with her strong and accurate knowledge of
the Afghan culture, facilitated the establishment of Women to the World as a goverment
approved organization (NGO) for the purposes of serving the needs of
Afghanistan through education, providing job-skills training and health related
services for Afghan women.
We welcome your comments at: SURVIVAL@WomenToTheWorld.Org
regarding your desire to help continue turning her dream into reality. In the
words of J.Christy Wilson, "The Afghan people are as hard as the mountains that
surround Kabul." It is the determination, strength and resolve of the Afghanistan
people we serve that beckons us to work even harder to give help and hope.
