Since it reopened its office in Afghanistan in 2002, The Asia Foundation
has established strong links with the formal education system, and also
supports civil society organizations to provide remedial, vocational,
and other non-formal education and training for women and girls. The
Foundation works both to increase girls' access to education as well as
to improve the quality of education offered. During the years of
conflict, the Foundation supported education for Afghan girls and women
living in refugee camps in Pakistan. During the Taliban years, when
girls were banned from school, the Foundation supported PARSA, a local
Kabul-based organization that ran home schools for girls.
