====Our organization seeks to provide and enhance the education system in Kabul, Afghanistan. Knowledge Works will collaborate with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in hopes of acquiring their assistance to implement our program/system. ====

====Our organization targets children to young adults ages 7-24 years old. Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, has a population of 3,568,500. While the literacy of the entire population is estimated at 34%, female literacy is 10%. It is evident that not only is the education system flawed, we can see that gender inequality is also a major challenge in Afghanistan. A lack of women teachers is an issue that concerns some Afghan parents, especially in more conservative areas. Some parents will not allow their daughters to be taught by men. Knowledge Works strives to provide equal opportunities for both the male and female population by providing both male and female educators. In doing so, Afghan parents can allow their daughter to have the opportunity to attend school in an environment they feel comfortable in. ====
