In 2020, SSEOA initiated the Community-Based Education (CBE) program in Kunar province, with the primary objective of delivering high-quality education at no cost to children residing in remote areas of Kunar. At its inception, the program directly impacted 450 students and indirectly benefited 2250 individuals in Kunar province. Building upon this success, SSEOA extended the CBE program to Kabul, Parwan, and Badakhshan provinces in 2021, further amplifying its reach and impact. Currently SSEOA has 107 CBE centers in Kabul, Parwan, Kunar and Badakhshan provinces. A total of 3,130 (1,810 girls, 1,320 boys) students are enrolled in 107 CBE centers in Grades (I-IV) of schools. Moreover, SSEOA recruited 130 (96 female, 34 male) teachers for the CBE program. This program spans 6 years in two cycles: from Grade IIII for basic CBE classes and from Grade IV-VI for advanced CBE classes. Throughout the project lifecycle, SSEOA has distributed teaching and learning materials for students, teachers and the classes. SSEOA will further establish 50 new CBE classes in Badakhshan province for 1,500 students (girls and boys). These classes will be funded with the support of AKF. 05 JUNE shining star educational organization of Afghanistan 2024 CAPACITY STATEMENT SSEOA BRIDGING GAPS
