08.22.2020 – Ayenda School is so happy to report that our school has reopened today after the prolonged five-months shutdown due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. It is so heartwarming for us to see our eager and bright students are back in their classrooms with big smiles and sharp minds.

We are so grateful to our incredibly devoted staff and teachers for working so hard to make this possible by following the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health and Education and taking personal initiatives.  We have been taking all the required and necessary measurement to make sure everyone stays safe. We have been providing hand washing stations and mandatory masks, each students temperature is checked before entering the school with the new thermal thermometers.  We are allocating certain number of students per classroom to keep the social distancing requirement in place and the classrooms become disinfected every day.

Currently we have 364 students, combination of boys and girls. Due to social distancing requirements and space difficulties, unfortunately we are not able to reopen our kindergarten class this year and we may have to delay some of our Girls Empowerment Classes as well. It has always been our goal to provide safe education environment for our students.

Again, we would like to thank all of our supporters for their ongoing backing and for staying committed to our mission of educating the young generation of Afghans to build peace and live in a self-reliant Afghanistan.  We couldn’t have come this far without your support.  We remain grateful and count on your continued support to bring our journey to an end in this challenging time.
