The home-based education for women in Afghanistan (HBEWA) project provided literacy training, skill development including Kits as a means of livelihood, and health, hygiene and sanitation awareness for women of the most vulnerable communities in Nangarhar, Bamyan and Balkh provinces. The project’s objective was to support women deprived of education mainly due to cultural, social and security issues. Conducting awareness sessions on health, hygiene and sanitation was also one of the key components of the project that was aimed to improve hygiene and nutrition practices among beneficiary families.
The end line evaluation for the Home Based Education for Women in Afghanistan (HBEWA) project was conducted in 28 villages of 6 districts of three provinces (Bamyan, Balkh and Nangarhar) of Afghanistan with the main purpose of finding out if the project has achieved its key objectives, exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the project that will inform future IRW programming, and documenting best practices if any.
