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

Director
