Description:
Lina (with white dress and black head scraf), 18, recites the Koran with a girl and two young women, seated on the floor in her home in the Khairkhana neighbourhood in Kabul, the capital. Lina completed the third grade before she was forced to stop school. Determined to continue her education, she asked her brother, a university student, to help her study. She now takes tailoring and embroidery, as well as literacy and other classes, at an educational centre run by the UNICEF-assisted General Work and Development Association (GWA), a local NGO. The Association offers a non-formal education programme for adolescent and other women who previously could not attend school.
