Education saves lives - it's simple. TME has been providing education to people all over the world, in their own languages, for over 10 years. We know that our lessons save lives. Now we want to make them available to people in Afghanistan, using Dari and Pashto languages, for the first time.

Situation

Afghanistan has the world's 15th lowest GDP and a startlingly high infant mortality rate, and many people still require basic health and medical education on topics such as disease prevention, the dangers of smoking, and family planning. Lack of safe water, especially in Kabul, means that deaths from water-borne diseases and malaria are still alarmingly high. Because many people live a 2 hour walk away from health centres, we are aiming to educate communities in disease causes and prevention.

Solution

Thare Machi will work with local professionals in Kabul to translate key DVDs on topics such as HIV, immunisation and safe water, into Pashto and Dari. Once these are translated, we will engage with local workers and communities to ensure as wide a distribution of our DVDs as possible, with the aim of reaching the most vulnerable communities. We have already established a solid network of professionals to help with distribution, and we will partner with local Afghans.
