The largest and most comprehensive project involves creating a hospital to treat people with cancer. Before the Taliban took over, people went to Iran or Pakistan for cancer treatment. Those roads are closed or extremely expensive and therefore unaffordable. Such a large project requires a thorough feasibility study in which all aspects for realizing and maintaining such a hospital are thoroughly examined. The necessary research has now been done on the nature and extent of the various types of cancer prevalent in Afghanistan. Our partner BD+P ( Becan Davila Puentes architects and planners ) has also made a Strategic Urban Quick Scan to gain insight into the most desirable location in Kabul. The hospital will be located in Kabul because this is where most of the people live and can come and where most of the cooperation partners are. We also collaborate here with renowned researchers in the field of oncology in the Netherlands.
There is a great need for practical education that allows students who are practically oriented to work in their city or region after six months ( or sometimes longer ) of training. In addition, with some guidance, they can also start their own business with which they can build an existence. These are pupils who have acquired the basic skills of reading and arithmetic but are unable to follow a multi-year higher or theoretical education. Practical education matches the needs and opportunities indicated from entrepreneurs and businesses in a city or region. Think of masons, construction workers, plumbers,caretakers, gardening, cook, carpenter etc. The knowledge is transferred by experienced teachers from the field . Students receive a certificate recognized by the government. The training is low-threshold with the required knowledge and materials coming from the proceeds of crowdfunding and the Khan foundation. The idea is that the students contribute with which the teachers can be paid. Examples of this practical education include the so-called COSDECs in Namibia.
The goals:
The realization:
•
A devastating earthquake struck the eastern part of Afghanistan on Aug. 31. More than a thousand people were killed and many lost their homes. The Khan Foundation launched a crowdfunding campaign and raised more than €100,000. These funds will allow us to build more than 500 houses in the villages that were destroyed....
