Description

Children Without Borders is a registered non-profit organization founded in Toronto, Ontario. CWB was formed to aid those who suffer in the aftermath of decades of war in Afghanistan. Although primary education is free, many families live in poverty and their children are forced to leave school to provide money for their families. As a result, Afghan communities are suffering and children are forced into adulthood with no formal education. We believe that education is the most important part of a child’s life and with your help we want to give every child in Afghanistan the chance to go to school and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
