Introduction

EAC component is an abbreviation of Educate a child - a project governed by UNHCR for

Punjab and Sind for Afghan Schools in order to upgrade their schools and make them

thoroughly functional so that the attendance of Afghan students in the school overall and

especially the Afghan girl students is improved. We are living in the world that is undergoing

profound transformations at all levels. Countries that have mainstreamed international

standards in their policies and regulations are able to better protect their populations and

masses as well as their targeted communities and give them a bigger and recovered choice of

opportunities which makes them more competitive and making it easier for them to stimulate

diversification nationally and internationally. EAC component is not only for Afghan students

but also to build up the capacity of teachers teaching in Afghan Schools with modern

techniques and refresher courses in order to meet the needs. Educate a child focuses on the

more and more enrolment of Afghan girls into the schools by removing their coherent and

inherent and other conventional barriers which hinder in their education.

EAC component includes construction of classrooms and toilets in Schools, Capacity building

training of teachers, community sensitization campaigns, provision of Sports goods and

furniture at schools and provision of Sanitary napkins at girls’ schools. EAC project was

materialized in Punjab and Sindh with the ominous efforts of SHARP. SHARP feels honor in

felicitating the Afghan Refugees and UNHCR for this momentous completion.

In fact SHARP in collaboration with UNHCR gave birth to Unification of Afghans for the

promotion to educate a child, which will in turn contribute the education, stability, security and

prosperity of Afghans in Pakistan and beyond. Relation between SHARP and Afghan Nationals is

based on shared values and common interests for the welfare of Afghans in all aspects

principally in the field of education. SHARP in collaboration with UNHCR is engaged in

comprehensive efforts to expand and further strengthen the horizon of education in Afghans by

providing wide-ranging multi-dimensional framework for uplifting of Afghan children in the turf

of education.

SHARP takes pride for the successful completion of EAC project by a qualitative construction of

class rooms, toilets and boundary walls with the stipulation of high quality sports goods,

Manager SHARP, Mianwali, Civil Engineer SHARP and the contractor for checking the

construction work. Construction work was completed and verified by the UNHCR monitoring

team and found satisfactory according to the approved project proposal. The main purpose of

this construction was to foster and promote better standards and amenities to the Afghan

students as a means of advancing with the pace of time and age ensuring their education and

safety.

This construction is a rehabilitation of schools

and toilets which accumulates the

process of standardization no doubt is costly and time consuming but also inevitable,

indispensable, imperative and unavoidable.

On 12th September 2014 UNHCR monitoring team assigned additional work to the contractor

under EAC Project. The contractor had successfully completed additional work and installed the

items as per specification. This will be remembered for time to come and with the new premise

the same will act as a motivating force for more minds and assignments to come up with the

better definition of the situation encompassing objectivity.

Provision of School Furniture

20

Distribution of School Furniture

Furniture for school is very essential to make a classroom look like a classroom. Without

furniture classroom is disfigured and blemished. A good and tidy classroom draws attention of

21

the students and guarantees to move them on. That’s why there seemed to be a dire need to

upgrade Afghan schools with the supplement of furniture items to restore the lost strength of

overall turn out of schools to obtain positive

results, though it appears to be a hard time taking task. Refugee schools are going through

enrolment recession because of so many factors that’s why practical measures are being taken

to uplift this downturn of Afghan students.

22

Distribution of furniture at 9 Schools in Camp Kot Chandna

Schools at Punjab was organized from 22nd September 2014

to 25th September 2014 in which school chairs were

provided at various schools so that Afghan children

may not be underprivileged of the basic facilities

merely because of being Refugee. School is the place

where children go to achieve education rather to

receive it from here and there that’s why a well

maintained furniture makes a classroom a

distinguished from other places and it creates a

sanctity of being student and a being learner. So EAC

project along with SHARP rehabilitated the deformed

conditions of classrooms to make education

interesting and accessible to the refugees.

23

Provision of Sanitary Items

25

Sanitary Napkins were

distributed among 200 Students

of 4 Schools at Mianwali and

Lahore Afghan girl students

reaching at the age of puberty in

order to understand the monthly

periodical needs of the growing

girls so that they may identify the

concept of hygiene and

sanitation. This distribution of

sanitary napkins was in other

words a calling attention notice

seeking a dissertation on the most

26

important issue of young growing girls to draw their attention on their foremost natural health

issues. This matter required immediate practical awareness through communication and

counseling to make it effective. SHARP along with UNHCR has mobilized the Afghan females and

young girls for this wakefulness campaign. For this purpose SHARP team visited all the

constituencies at Camp Kot Chandna to contact the refugee females.

27

Provision of Sports Goods

31

Sports are known for producing the most

remarkable Athletes, high-ranking characters,

dominant leaders and celebrities. Sports activities

create the art of winning and tolerance after losing

which determines sportsman ship with a fortitude

that the difference between the impossible and the

possible lies in a man’s determination by giving him

an opportunity to play. Playing different games in

school keeps the dreams of Afghan children alive and

they make

everything possible for themselves which was impossible for the once. That’s why supplying

sports goods to various afghan schools was in fact

giving them a first phase of confidence and this first

bit of confidence is the gateway to many other great

things.

Under EAC Project Sports goods were distributed

among 17 girls and boys schools at Punjab and Sindh

so that Afghan children may develop healthy and

fecund activities and

Prompt interest to go to the school as a blessing which

they lack at home but they are fulfilled by it in schools. All these things administered to the

schools were set up to induce a driving force to Afghan children so that they may be

enthusiastic to go to the schools.

32

Community sensitization means to create

awareness in a certain community against

health, education, poverty, violence, trauma

diseases and other social abuses by holding

certain awareness campaigns, counseling,

directions, colloquium, tutorials, seminar and

workshops so that oppressed and subjugated

people may tend to a better molar value of

life and its affinities.

Two community sensitization campaigns were organized to promote importance of Education.

First session was organized on 10 June2014 at VRC Songal, Gadap Town and

second session also as WORLD REFUGEE DAY (WRD 2014) on 20 th June, 2014

at the same venue. Collectively 250 participants including Afghan Parents,

Teachers, Volunteers, Parents Teachers and Youth committee Members and

students of 08 Afghan Schools attended following sessions.

Constrains

EAC component is a successful project funded by UNHCR which went through certain

constrains which were although an inhibition in the completion of the project but such

reticence was caved in by consistent strategy and continuous line of attack. These

constrains were:

• Extreme weather conditions making mobility indispensable.

• Least community sensitization making them unaware of payback of EAC component.

• Uneven and broken roads of camp un- facilitated the transportation of construction

material of EAC architecture which resulted in the delay of construction.

• Un- timely, long and consistent rainy weather was a delayed factor in the construction

of EAC component.

Suggestions

There are certain implications which make EAC component superlative and idyllic for the future

prospects which are:

• Up gradation of schools from middle to secondary and then secondary to higher

secondary level so that the Afghan children especially girls should not travel pole apart

in search of education.

• Construction of more and more classrooms and toilets for higher secondary section.

• Provision of missing facilities like renovation of existing toilets in Camp Schools.

• Provision of more furniture like cupboards, black boards, staff room furniture should be

made possible.

• Drinking water for Afghan children in schools should not be a dream for them.

• Proper water and sanitation means should be adopted for the cleanliness.

44

• Construction of Boundary Walls in some Schools of camp for protection of children.

• School compounds and grounds should be spacious enough to meet the recreational

and sports needs of the children.

• Community sensitization campaign should be raised in order to increase number of

girls in Schools.

• Sweepers and School maids should be appointed to facilitate the children and teachers.

• Watchmen at the gates should be appointed from the relevant Afghan tribes to make

the safety and security system of the school fool proof.

• Power supply in the class rooms should be appropriate along with electricity items like

fans, bulb so that the students may not face any difficulty in schools.

• Refresher courses and teacher trainings for camp pedagogues should be enhanced.

All these above facts of EAC component make a stable path to maintain and provide quality

physical and mental rehabilitation services to a neglected segment of the society called Afghan

refugees. EAC component is an emerging phase in the lives of Afghan children which promises a

bright future to ensure mandatory preliminary primary education. So integrating these Afghan

children with curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities epitomize their basic right

to educate and eventually it will claim that education is a refuge for refugees in adversity.

For me education is an empowerment that has empowered nations, men

and women and this power cannot be suppressed
