Director's Message:
Dear
visitor,
Thank
you for coming to our Web site and your interest in Help Afghan School
Children Organization ( HASCO).
As you are aware one
of the most devastating
affects
of the
long war in Afghanistan is, the deprivation of Afghan
children and
young generation from the basic right
of education and schooling.
The big
question is,
how
a country with the most need for experts
such as
doctors
,
engineers
and other skilled workers
in the world, can rebuilt their destroyed country and shattered
economy with
such
highest rate
of
uneducated
children
in the world ?
With
more than
70%
of Afghans living in poverty,
today,
the biggest challenge of Afghan families are to provide their school
age children with school
supplies, such as notepads pens pencils,
clothes
and other school needs of their children.
Most of
these poverty stricken families are living without regular income.
Their everyday life is a struggle for survival. The conditions
of those who recently return from Pakistan and Iran refugee camps are
no better than those living in Afghanistan. On arrival to their
village they are met with the ruins of their houses and Farms. These
families need to be helped urgently. Without help, thousands of Afghan
families will not be able to provide their
children with School materials.
The aim
of HASCO is to help the school age Children of these families by
providing them with school materials. Without outside support and
generous help in such emergencies, it will be very difficult for
Afghan
families to deal with such a horrendous situation.
Afghan Children
are the main victims of
long
years
war
and
armed conflict in their country. Hundreds of them
have
been killed, disabled, orphaned, displaced from their homes,
separated from their families, conscripted in the army without their
well, and deprived from their basic right of education and schooling.
We believe that if we want to prevent another humanitarian catastrophe
in Afghanistan, if we want
a peaceful, prosperous and friendly Afghanistan, we must help Afghan
children and young generation to attend school and this is
a moral obligation to all of us.
Sincerely Yours

H Khaled
