Given the security situation in Afghanistan we do not publish actual names. We will call him Abdul.

A  former street child named Abdul completed his first semester of his second year of college in Kabul, Afghanistan last week. Abdul received this recognition with several other students from elementary, high school and college. He has earned many Microsoft certificates and exceptionally high grades at the university here in Kabul, where he is studying Business and Economics. Donations to Two Sparrows Foundation have helped send these children to school.

Abdul is a former street child whose life has been turned around by his drive to rise above his past. He was orphaned  when he was four years old.  He has since taken his father’s responsibilities as provider by selling all day on the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan. He now supports his entire family including unemployed brothers, sisters and his mother. Abdul is Two Sparrows Foundation’s oldest student receiving economic assistance for college. At 20 he has hopes if sponsored to travel abroad to further his studies.

Two Sparrows Foundation contributions to schools on the child’s behalf allow them to prepare for significantly better jobs for their future. Some of our education and vocational assistance recipients are from the streets, others are from impoverished families, and some just come to us as orphans seeking help.  All these children are assessed for vocational training or academic education and learn computer skills and English.
