Prior to her enrollment in HBT “Street to School” campaign, Setayish father had an advanced oral cancer and passed away. Her older brother worked in ice cream shop, and her two younger brothers were polishing shoes in the dangerous streets of Kabul; still, their income was inadequate and not enough to support everyone. With your help and donations, HBT’s amazing team came to their rescue and since last year, they have never returned to child labor. In the long run, sending them to school changes their lives and is a natural solution to poverty and their safety.
Absence and being away from education caused her to fall behind, and when tested for school enrollment, she scored only at the third-grade level. While not in school, she stayed home performing house chores with her mother. Sadia’s father is a servant, and both of her brothers used to work hard alongside their father. Luckily, with your donations, we could sponsor her alongside her brother’s education at Hera School in Paghman province.

Sana is part of a family of four children in an unpredictable living situation. She lives with his four siblings in a miserable condition in the east of Kabul.
Her father died at a very young age. Shortly after, her mother remarried her uncle. However, this glimmer of hope suddenly vanished due to his stepfather marrying someone else, thus leaving Sana and her siblings without a breadwinner. Sana’s mother is a domestic worker who earns meager wages from cleaning, cooking, and washing in people’s homes. HBT identified Sana on the streets of Kabul begging for money. HBT then went to Sana’s house and inspected their fragile living condition. Similarly, we also spoke to the neighbors to corroborate their living conditions to gain an insightful understanding of their predicament.

You can contribute to his welfare and quest to attain a sound education with your support and kindness.

Sajjad lost his father five years ago during an armed attack at the 400-bed hospital in Kabul. He has two younger brothers. The only supporter of his family is their mother, who cannot work. They live in a small and unlivable home which is intolerable to live in the cold weather. His martyred father’s retirement money is the only source of income to continue their difficult life. However, it is not enough for their living cost and education. Sajjad is in the eighth grade at the school, supported by HBT. He passionately wants to go to school and continue his education.
Please donate whatever you can to support Sajjad’s education.
Hi, my name is Shekiba. With your donations to HBT, I have been able to attend school for four years. I currently hold second place in my sixth-grade class in school. I dream of wearing a stethoscope someday. If Allah grants me the ability, I will be one of the future doctors in Afghanistan. Thank you for all of your love and support.
Shekiba was born into a poverty-stricken family. She has three brothers and two sisters. Her dad worked in the streets as a labor worker to provide for his family. Shekiba’s dad broke his leg on the job, which led to a permanent disability. As a result, Shekiba and his family lost their breadwinner. Fortunately, HBT (Help Build Tomorrow) got the family information through its volunteers, and, after a full assessment of the family, with your help and donations, we started our financial support for her education and other expenses. We support her family, so she does not have to end up working in the street. With the help of our donors and volunteers, Shekiba and her siblings were enrolled at Esar Private School. Shekiba wishes to have a bright future and wants you to help support HBT to help kids in Afghanistan.
