The Rotary District 6250 Foundation awarded a grant in the amount of $14,500 for the Wheels of Hope a Bus for Zabuli Education Center project, bringing us to $29,314 of the $45,000 goal raised for Razia's bus.
After Hours is a major contributor of the area Rotary Club project. With our support, we are creating a life-changing opportunity for Afghan girls, young women, their communities and generations to come. Consider where would you be today if you hadn’t received an education? The ability to read, of itself, opens a world of opportunities. Can you imagine what life would be like without it? The local Rotary Clubs' international project, Wheels of Hope, will provide safe transportation for girls attending the Zabuli Education Center in Afghanistan, so that can get an education and break the cycle of forced marriages.
If you'd like to make a donation to the project individually, you can support the girls' brighter future by giving at:
