About Us

Global Learning Hub believes the right to education is a fundamental right.

The right to education is a fundamental human right. It is essential for people to be able to reach their full potential and contribute to society. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world has access to quality education. 

In Afghanistan, there is a lack of resources and educational infrastructure, which has made it difficult to implement free and compulsory primary education for boys and girls.

Global Learning Hubs project aims to address this issue by providing quality education to the children of Afghanistan. This project will also provide training for teachers and staff and will develop a curriculum that is relevant to the needs of the students.

This project will have a significant impact on the lives of children on Afghanistan and Afghan refugees. Our platform provides access to quality education that would otherwise be unavailable to many students, most predominately girls and will provide them with the opportunity to get a quality education, which will help them break free from the cycle of poverty and dependence. It will also empower them with the tools they need to create a better future.
