Welcome to Afghan Education for a Better Tomorrow

After years of war, political conflicts and social unrest, Afghanistan's education system is one of the weakest in the world. This has deeply affected the country's ability to rebuild and sustain itself.

A recent Asia Foundation survey found lack of education and pervasive illiteracy as the single biggest problem facing women in Afghanistan, and while girls' enrollment in primary education has risen in recent years, more than 80% of Afghan women are still illiterate. The average life expectancy at birth of Afghan citizens is only 42 years, nearly two-thirds of the country lacks sustainable access to safe water supplies and sanitation.

Afghan Education for a Better Tomorrow (AEBT 501(c) 3) is a nonprofit organization, committed to help create an educational system that will help prepare Afghan women, men and children for a better tomorrow. AEBT is also developing program to ensure that the nation's health needs and goals are met, particularly the needs of the vulnerable populations, such as women and children.

It is the organization's hope to make some valuable and constructive contributions both in the health and education sectors in Afghanistan. As the founding members of AEBT, we believe that both education and healthcare constitute the most important but basic cornerstone of the Afghan society for survival and progress in the 21st century.
