As a part of our mission, TX ADT-5 has gotten involved with the Directorate of Education in Ghazni Province to try and introduce Agriculture Education classes to the schools throughout the province. We are doing this by working hand-in-hand with our Polish DDG counterparts. Our first school we have worked together to equip and start an agricultural curriculum in is Alberoni High School. Our Polish counterparts are providing tents for additional classrooms, while TX ADT-5 has provided a fuel tank for the generator they use to pump water from the well, an irrigation system, gardening tools, and the curriculum for the students to learn.
Alberoni High School teaches approximately 3,500 students, who's families will be directly impacted by their agricultural education. The girls will be learning biology with practical application, increasing their ability to attend college one day if they desire. But, it will also increase their earning potential immediately as 80% of Afghanistan's GDP is agribusiness based.
