APT-ANAHO Leadership Program

From 15th October to 30th November 2022, ANAHO with the collaboration of Afghans for Progressive Thinking (APT), launched the Leadership Development Program for youth empowerment and engagement of these young people. This program included ten 90-minute sessions. The participants were selected through two competitive steps: First, ANAHO and APT released the call for application forms through their social media pages and websites. The second step was a written test and an interview. Ultimately, 22 university male and female students among the 250 applications, from different universities in Kabul were admitted to the class. The program helped the beneficiaries to learn how to influence those around them and guide them through identifying their core leadership practice and mission. Besides, the participants were university students who need to be educated on leadership skills to be successful in further steps of their academic and professional lives. The future leaders, who participated in the sessions, are not only ones who benefit from the program, but their siblings, friends, families, and the community will be affected, too. We believe that having a stable future requires well-trained and responsive leaders. Therefore, we will continue to run more leadership programs and reach out to more students across the country with the vision of building a diverse and developed Afghanistan.

Women Empowerment Through Digital Arts.

ANAHO provided specialized 4 months of Graphic Design and Web Development courses for some 60 students through two different classes in August 2023. These students were selected through a competitive procedure. The students were mostly university students from different backgrounds. Most of the students were from the IT sector living in Kabul. This program helped Afghan girls to work from home and have a decent income. As we are witness to the impacts and level of satisfaction of the beneficiaries that are going through the already initiated training sessions, we believe that these thematic areas of our training program are very rare. Online freelancing is also a fresh entity in Afghanistan and females are very rare in this field. This could be a long-term sustainable source of decent income. considering the current socio-politico-economic turmoil, it might probably prove to be the most effective solution for Afghan women.
