IWC Monthly Meeting October


About this event :

 

Nai Qala 3Nai QalaOctober is the IWC charity fund raising month! Taiba Rhamin, founder and president of this years chosen charity, Nai Qala will talk about the work undertaken by the organisation which she founded in honour of her father. He was a shepherd who had the foresight to progressively move his family to larger and larger towns to enable his children to further their education.

Since 2007 Nai Qala has built six schools and a clinic in the poor, rural areas of Afghanistan. Today children living in these areas can walk 2-3 hours to get to school which may be a torn tent or simply an area of bare ground to squat. Nai Qala are currently raising funds to build 2 more schools with a capacity for 1000 students from 15 villages. As part of her presentation Mme Rhamin will address the larger impact of these schools in their local communities.
