Families and lots of Afghan people have left their homes during the war and migrated to neighboring countries. These people face lots of challenges at the time of migration. Most of these people are deprived of education in neighboring countries like Iran. They can’t go to school and study for their status of being migrants.

Biography of Zahra from Jebrail Township:

Zahra daughter of Gharib, spent her golden childhood and adolescence days in migration in Iran with her family. Unfortunately, she couldn’t study there, so was deprived of education and unable to make a good future for herself. She spent all her time at home without job. Also, she was unable to participate in vocational training classes due to poverty.

Eventually, Zahra’s family decided to return their home country. They settled in Jebrail township in Herat province.  Then Zahra registered herself at Help INGO vocational training classes that were offered by Neswan Association. She applied and was accepted in beauty parlor vocation.

With firm decision and great interest in learning, Zahra learned beauty parlor vocation at advanced level in six months. After completion of the course, she opened her own beauty parlor salon under the name of “Herat-Dubai” and started to work independently.

Zahra is 23 years old and lives in a family of 6 members. She is currently paying most of her family’s expenditures and has made a good economic and social condition for herself and her family.

Zahra is satisfied with her current life conditions and with the vocation she learnt.  She appreciates Help INGO, OSAA and WFP for offering good services during and after training and says: I am glad to have retuned my home country, made progress and made some of my dreams come true.
