Caring for the littlest in Kabul


Now that more and more women are joining the workforce, daycare has become a real issue for many families. Habiba started one of the first private daycares in the city which has grown to 29 children in just 3 months. We were able to visit with the children who welcomed us in english and then sang us a song. Habiba has 2 professional teachers that work with the children. We were able to brainstorm some ideas for increasing the number of children to bring in more income, like having an open house, inviting the neighborhood, or starting an after school program for latch key kids. Habiba recently did some promotion with fliers and television. She has a real heart for the children and several families a week are inquiring about her program.
