Voices from the Field
"Before this project, my son had no school, no food, and no hope. Today he has memorized three *juz* and smiles every morning before leaving home."
— Guardian, Kunduz City
"The stipend and meals changed everything. My daughter is not only learning Qur'an — she is teaching her younger siblings at home."
— Guardian, Ali Abad District
"We have seen real change in the children's confidence and behavior. The PSS sessions have made a difference that textbooks alone cannot."
— Ghairatullah, Project Teacher
