About
Opening classrooms across Afghanistan
Qatra is a donor-funded initiative expanding safe, quality education for children in Afghanistan. We partner with local educators to reopen classrooms, provide learning materials, and train teachers. Every contribution goes directly toward removing financial, cultural, and logistical barriers so Afghan children, especially girls, can learn, thrive, and shape their own futures.
Programs
We provide expert training in Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Our programs also cover coding basics in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as creative design with Photoshop and Illustrator. We also guide students in internet skills, such as web navigation, collaboration tools, and online safety—empowering them with the critical skills for today’s digital success.
We offer comprehensive English classes designed to build fluency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Our courses include specialized tracks such as business English, academic English, and professional communication.
