Happy International Literacy Day, discover how Islamic Relief’s education projects are changing lives in poor communities worldwide. Almost 200 Tunisian students received nutritious snacks and mineral water through a project designed to empower poor children to unlock the benefits of education. During the project at Ghorghar primary school, Islamic Relief provided 18,250 snacks covering 70 school-days. In Iraq over 2,000 children are benefitting from our ambitious project to improve secondary education. Five schools are receiving much-needed repairs and improvements, as well as essential furniture and equipment – and teacher training. We are also providing all students with school uniforms and stationery as well as access to extra-curricular activities. Indonesia’s Aceh province was left devastated by the tsunami of 2004. Our most recent post-disaster programme project has seen eleven orphanages and boarding schools receiving support to generate an income. The schools are now able to maintain and improve their education services. Afghanistan-Less than one per cent of women are literate. Supported by specialist teachers, thousands of poor women in Bamiyan province are accessing our home-based learning and gaining essential skills – including reading and writing – that they need to improve their lives.
