Afghanistan's population is estimated to be 37 million, half of whom are estimated to be under the age of 15. Many of the children do not have the opportunity to be educated. Girls in particular have difficulty getting to school.

Danish People's Aid builds schools for tens of thousands of Afghan children, especially girls. In addition to building new quality schools and rehabilitating/modernizing dilapidated schools, we equip classrooms with aids, chairs and tables.

Danish People's Aid has been engaged in Afghanistan since 1984. Through the organization DACAAR, we will save lives in the early stages of a crisis targeting internally displaced people, returning refugees and communities affected by conflicts and natural disasters.
