UNICEF plans to directly fund Afghan teachers
[KhaamaPress] The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund has announced that they will be funding Afghan teachers directly and without involving the de-facto authorities, the Taliban.
The International community has presently blocked money to the Taliban-led administration and has announced that they are setting up a system to fund the teachers without giving money to the Taliban.
UNICEF’s Afghanistan Chief of Education Jeannette Vogelaar in her latest interview with Reuters said that they would begin registering teachers of public schools in order to put them in the system.
“The best way to support the education of girls in Afghanistan is to continue supporting their schools and teachers. UNICEF is calling upon donors not to let Afghanistan’s children down” said Vogelaar.
The UNICEF has said that funding the Afghan teachers is the only way to help reopen schools for Afghan girls in Afghanistan.
It has been more than two and a half months since the high schools and universities have been closed in Afghanistan but the Taliban have recently said that they will soon open schools and universities for girls.
WFP Distributes Cash to Poor Families in Kabul
[ToloNews] The World Food Program (WFP) started distributing cash to poor families, with each receiving 3,500 Afghanis (approx. 33 US dollars) per month in Afghanistan.
It is reported that more than 4,000 families will receive this emergency cash for the next four months.
The WFP has started this program to decrease poverty as the country’s economy is crumbling.
“We are going to provide and distribute each family 3,500 family per month and this is a complete process for four months”, said Sami Alokozai, WFP representative in Kabul.
“There are many people, having nothing to eat and wear, and they have nothing to make their houses warm," he said.
The families who gathered in Kabul to receive aid said they lived in desperate conditions and require more humanitarian aid before the winter.
“This aid is not enough, but we thank God, we can buy flour now,” said Sughra Hussaini.
Nahid is another displaced woman who lives in a Kabul camp with six family members.
“I have not received even a loaf of bread, no one helped me,” Nahid told TOLOnews.
After the Taliban came into power, Afghanistan's economy has rapidly declined and poverty and hunger are on the rise.
