The Afghan Appeal Fund (AAF) is run on a voluntary basis by family and friends of British soldiers and aims to raise awareness of the plight of the people of Afghanistan, particularly the children, and raise money to help them. 

The charity has gone from strength to strength, and work has begun on three more school projects in Afghanistan this year.  Two new village primary schools are being constructed in Nuristan and Bamyan provinces and a school in Helmand province is being reconstructed after severe damage was sustained during fighting last year. 

Educating the children of Afghanistan helps to promote peace and stability, particularly in the more remote regions – it is key to the hearts and minds campaign and to the rebuilding of the country.  Afghanistan has been destroyed by successive wars, and education is the first step towards a brighter future.
