From Street to School - Kids

Meet the face of poverty in Afghanistan:
Shabnam, Karim, Najib, Hafiz and Zia are siblings who lost their father (and sole provider) while fighting against terrorism in Afghanistan. Since the loss of their father almost a year ago, they have been in the care of their grandmother who has been collecting food from neighbors in their village to help feed her grandchildren. This family's loss has broken their hearts and bankrupted their ability to buy food. Due to their loss, the mother and grandmother both suffer from depression. The only piece of luck that is on their side is that they own their home. When HBT received word about this family's desperate situation, these children were short of falling prey to child labor and begging on streets in order to help their family survive. HBT members gave financial support and a promise to help these children get back to school and continue their education.
As many of you know it is the children who suffer most in war. We ask you to please help us educate these children and countless more just like them. Help us fight for every child's right to education. Help us give hope to the hopeless and empower them to dream of becoming doctors, engineers, and future leaders. Help us enroll as many poverty stricken children in schools as possible. The list is long and our mission too great of an importance for the future of not only the children but for Afghanistan and the world, at large.
