Hospital Clinic

ASET have started work on a hospital & well building project near Sholgara, an area north of Mazar e Sharif. Currently the locals have a 12 hour round trip by donkey to get clean water but the well, along with the hospital, will serve around 30,000 people from the surrounding villages.

HIV & TB Prevention Programme

The HIV & TB prevention programme is well under way in Sholgara, providing basic health education to 30,000 people & training Community Health Workers to sustain the support & new knowledge gained within their local communities.

Women’s Literacy Project

A new programme has begun amongst the poorest areas of Mazar e Sharif, aiming to teach another 100-200 women how to read & write. This will enable them to live more independently, give more support to children that are at school or kindergarten & raise their levels of self-confidence.

Kindergarten

The ASET kindergarten now supports 10 teachers & almost 100 children. The Afghan trainee teachers are developing well under the tuition of our Project Manager, Faith, & it is a joy to see the enjoyment on the children’s faces as they attend from day to day.

Ghazni Feeding Project

ASET are currently assisting with a feeding programme for malnourished children in Ghazni, as well as supporting the neo-natal department of the local hospital. We are expanding this to include English teaching for hospital staff & also at the girl’s high school nearby.

Widows Suit Making Project

The aim is to train up to 50 women to make men’s suits and trousers, with the hope that 3 of the women will eventually be able to own, run & operate successful businesses whilst employing other seamstresses from their local communities.
