About Afghan Institute of Learning: Afghan institute of learning (AIL) is a Non-governmental, non-political, non-profit and women-led organization (NGO) which was established in 1995 by "Dr. Sakena Yacoobi" to provide education, training and health services to vulnerable Afghans in order to foster self-reliance, critical thinking skills, and community participation. The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) believes in a community based tailored, holistic approach that: raises the literacy rate, teaches job skills enabling women to contribute to their families and communities, ensures women and children are safe and know their rights, provides access to health care, education, legal aid and food aid and promotes Afghan culture and peace. Everything we do is interconnected because people need good health to learn and work and quality education and job skills to create economic development. Afghanistan needs the half of its population that is female to contribute their talents and skills to helping communities thrive.
