About Us

Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit, and women-led organization (NGO) that was established in 1995 by "Dr. Sakena Yacoobi" to provide education, and health services to Afghans in order to foster self-reliance, and community participation.

Everything we do is interconnected because people need good health to learn and work and quality education and job skills to create economic development. We believe that by lifting the lives of Afghan's women and children, we lift the entire country. From its founding in 1995 in the Afghan refugee camps, AIL has been providing health services to hundreds of thousands each year.

Currently, across 11 provinces, AIL runs 44 Learning Centers, 9 health clinics with 24 village- based Community Health Worker posts.
