Overview of Stories for Kids
Education starts from the cradle and reading is an important part of a childs early education. Stories for Kids is an APn-led initiative which has one simple aim: build a library of childrens stories in Pashto and Dari by translating from other languages. The project would benefit children living in Afghanistan and abroad: while these written stories will help encourage a culture of literacy in Afghanistan, they can also be used to help teach children in the diaspora their mother tongue.
