Local tradition is to wrap the first stone in a red fabric, tied it with a ribbon and have sweets.
Early Childhood Education program includes basic hygiene measures
During the early childhood education class, children learn how to wash their hands before going to class or before eating. Children are effective communicators and agents of change: they learn the habits of good hygiene at school and pass them on home and in the community. For children, this direct involvement in the promotion of hygiene inculcates a sense of personal capacity building.
According to Unicef, every day about 4,000 children under five die of diarrheal diseases worldwide. Washing hands with soap and water is one of the most effective and cheapest ways to prevent these deaths. Washing hands reduces the number of deaths associated with diarrhea by more than 40% and acute respiratory illness by around 25%.
Promoting good hygiene and health habits early in life can lead to lifelong hygiene behaviors.
Construction of the new school building just started in the village of Sokhtagi, with the support of the community
Villagers rented a tractor and prepared the field so that construction could start: 6 meter deep, on a surface of 1300 square meters.
The ceremony for the opening of the construction happened in the presence of the local community, the provincial minister of education and, of course, the girls who will benefit from the new building.

Over the past 10 years, the Nai Qala Association (NQA) has built schools in regions where children had never even seen a school building. We believe in strengthening their dignity by ensuring that children learn in proper conditions.
Now we are adding a new dimension to our engagement: we are now providing Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes to improve the quality of education for young children aged 5-6 years in the regions where we have built schools.
Dignity through quality learning facilities and quality education is the way forward in rural Afghanistan which accounts for more than 80% of the country’s population.
The ECD program helps children to develop their imagination, talents and confidence at a very young age.
2 pilot ECD classes have started in July
We promote health and hygiene practices in our education programs.
We built a basic health care clinic and we include WASH facilites in the schools we build.
We improve the health conditions of thousands of people by providing access to health services and increasing hygiene and health awareness.
