View of Kabul from the orphanage roof
Afghanistan is in the news a lot these days, but most of us know little about the country and its people. These pages will introduce you to Afghanistan and provide you with resources to get to know it better.
- If you are completely unfamiliar with Afghanistan, start with A (spectacularly) brief introduction to Afghanistan.
- We’ve also started building an Afghanistan Reading List, with works by Afghans and by others who know the country well. If you buy any of these books via the links on our site, a percentage of the proceeds will go towards AFCECO’s work.
- If you’d like to learn a little Dari or know more about the languages our children speak, take a look at the Language section.
- Each month, the orphanage staff put out a newsletter. It’s always inspirational and it’s fascinating to learn some of the day-to-day details of the children’s lives. We have an archive of all the newsletters.
