DET Students Learn from Previous Test Takers
On August 15, 2024, about a month into the Duolingo Prep Course, we noticed that some of our students were already quite prepared for the actual Duolingo English Test.,,
Najiba: A Mother Fighting for Her Family
The heartbreaking story is that Najiba is the sole provider for her family of ten. A mother of eight, Najiba has been working for three years to earn money for her family and pay for her husband’s medical treatment. Her eldest daughter shared how, last year, Najiba suffered an accident while cleaning, leading to internal bleeding. Despite her own health needs, Najiba can’t afford her medication. Instead, every bit of money she makes goes toward feeding her family.
Final Selected Students for the DET Prep Course
The Duolingo Prep Course recently selected 15 (2 selected later) exceptional Afghan girls from 85 applicants through a well-rounded process. On July 11, 2024, all candidates took a placement test covering their English skills for the Duolingo English Test.
The Story of Free Duolingo Prep Course
The response to the launch of our program was overwhelming. Within just one week of opening applications, over 400 students applied to participate.
Bridging Educational Gaps
With detailed planning and relentless efforts, we endeavor to provide Afghan girls with the educational support they deserve, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities needed to build brighter futures.
Empowering Afghan Girls through International Connections
In a carefully planned one-hour session, our organization made a dedicated effort to create meaningful connections between Afghan girls in our program and our respected partners from Canada. The main goal was twofold: to share the stories of these resilient individuals and to have open discussions about their current situations in the context of the government. This initiative, done through Zoom, went beyond just language exchange.
Why We Exist?
We exist as a non-profit organization in Afghanistan for a singular purpose: to empower Afghan youth through education. Our mission is to cultivate educational opportunities and capacity-building initiatives for the younger generation.
