Morton Family Foundation donates $30,000 for education of Afghan women and girls - Brendan Burke, Peterborough Examiner

“This year their $30,000 donation goes to support online learning through the Darakht-e Danesh Library, which can be accessed free by everyone including students in hiding or living as refugees in neighbouring countries.” Afghanistan is currently the only country on the planet to officially deny girls the human right to education on the basis of their gender, according to CW4WAfghan, which calls the policy “gender apartheid.” The online library offers free and open educational resources for teachers, students, and anyone with a curious mind who wants to learn more on a particular subject, says the group’s website.
