In order to help further promote education, CWS-P/A distributed 786 school kits to the students at the ten schools between September 27 and November 1, 2011. The kits contained notebooks, pencils, color pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and rulers. For families where paying for education is barely in reach, what seems like a simple gesture can make a world of difference for the students and their ability to remain in school.

CWS-P/A hopes that providing a safe environment that is conducive to learning and promoting the importance of education will continue to result in increasing enrollment figures. The organization addresses education, particularly promoting girls’ education, across Pakistan and Afghanistan. By following integrated approaches that focus on infrastructure, teachers’ capacity, and increasing awareness on the importance of education, CWS-P/A will continue to work with communities to help address the underlying factors preventing children from attending school. For every single student that enrolls in school due to the various initiatives, one step forward in helping children access their basic right to education is attained.
