Please contact us at sakena@afghaninstituteoflearning.org for our current needs before collecting any goods on our behalf. Shipping to Afghanistan is very costly and difficult so we have to be cautious in accepting supplies. There are occasions when we can use donations of supplies and equipment for our operations, but these will require a great deal of prior planning. Thank you for your consideration.
