36 years old Mr. Abdul Samad the chairman of Qulfak CDC of Nahri-Sarraj district of Helmand province says” It was ANCC’s struggle to aware and motivate our people in order to send their children to school who never been to school”.
ANCC’s involvement in building boundary wall for the school enable our daughters to go to school without any fear, previously our school did not had surrounding wall therefore it was very difficult to decide to school our female children to school.
We all work together with government and other national and international organizations in order to reduce the illiteracy rate and ensue quality education for our children so that they could better contribute in the rehabilitation and development of Afghanistan in the future.
We are very happy that government of Afghanistan and international donor communities supporting us to solve our social problems

15000 primary students received books which enable them to read and have access to quality education.
1. Throughout community and district level dialogues, it was identified by residents of Kandahar province that their children which go to school, do not have books to learn. Due to unavailability and having no access to books, these children often faced with difficulties and their parents are also not able to provide them books in order to have access to quality education at all levels. Hereby, the advocacy committees brought this issues at a higher level and they discussed with the relevant department. Fortunately, they were able to advocate on behalf of their children and held various meetings with Directorate of Education (DoE) in order to provide books for the students. The director of education ensured his full support in the provision of books as soon as possible. Luckily, the DoE and ANCC head offices supported and provided 15000 volumes books for these students and it was distributed among students through directorate of education- Kandahar.
The advocacy effort made it, to provide books for the deprived student. Approximately, 15000 ( 8000 Female & 7000 male) students benefited from these books.
