Taghyeer Organization - We Love Reading

Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

Afghanaid

Afghanaid is a British humanitarian and development organisation established in 1983. For close to 40 years, we have worked in Afghanistan with millions of deprived, excluded and vulnerable families in some of the poorest and most remote communities. Our mission is to provide rural Afghans with the training and tools they need to help themselves, their families and their communities. We support basic service provision, improve livelihoods, empower women, help communities protect against natural disasters, and respond to humanitarian crises. Afghanaid currently operates in eight provinces, and through our wide range of development and humanitarian programming we reached approximately 1.64 million Afghans in 2019. Afghanaid employs 395 full time staff, with 389 of those based in Afghanistan, the overwhelming majority of whom are Afghans. We work in Badakhshan, Daykundi, Ghor, Herat, Logar, Nangarhar, Samangan and Takhar provinces. Afghanaid primarily works in three programmatic areas: access to basic services; improved livelihoods; disaster risk reduction and emergency assistance. Our 'Access to Basic Services' pillar supports communities to improve their basic service provision and community infrastructure, helping them mobilise, design, and implement small-scale community development projects. Afghanaid has been a facilitating partner for both the National Solidarity Programme (NSP) and Citizen's Charter National Priority Programme (CCNPP) since 2003. Our 'Improved Livelihoods' pillar supports Afghan men and women, in rural and urban communities, to strengthen their livelihoods, increase their incomes, and improve their access to new markets and value chains. Therefore, enabling households to lift themselves out of poverty. We also promote sustainable livelihoods, ensuring communities protect and manage their natural resources such as water and rangelands. Our 'Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Assistance' pillar supports communities to plan for, respond to, and mitigate the impact of natural disasters. When disasters do occur, including displacement or conflict, we provide emergency humanitarian assistance and help communities to rebuild, restore productive land and community infrastructure, and recover their livelihoods. All of our programming is underpinned by three key principles, which we believe are essential to sustainable development in Afghanistan: conflict mitigation and peacebuilding; gender and inclusion; and good governance. We believe in a peaceful and thriving Afghanistan. It is crucial that, after decades of war, Afghans have a voice in their peaceful development, making them active participants in shaping the future of their country. We work with both women and men to challenge traditional gender norms and improve gender equality. Our projects are disability inclusive and support marginalised groups. Finally, we continuously work to strengthen the relationship between citizens and local authorities, and promote meaningful engagement with political processes. Afghanaid is also the lead agency of the Afghanistan Resilience Consortium (ARC), which was established in 2014 as a partnership between Afghanaid, ActionAid, Concern Worldwide, and Save the Children. The ARC integrates natural resource management, disaster risk reduction, and livelihood strengthening with a community-led approach to create lasting resilience for Afghanistan's communities and ecosystems. The ARC's holistic programming recognizes that conflict and environmental degradation can exacerbate the impacts of natural hazards, and strives to support communities and improve ecosystem management in order to reduce the risk of disasters and build adaptive capacity to climate change.
