Afghans Empowered sits down with team members from the award-winning organization, Skateistan. This organization seeks to empower children in underprivileged communities through the power of skateboarding and education. Since its inception, Skateistan has impacted thousands of children in Afghanistan, South Africa, and Cambodia. We journey through the discussion of operations in Afghanistan, with a focus on the programs that help students accelerate their academic skills with the help of Skateistan. Providing life long skills to help students flourish after graduating from their many programs, Skateistan’s community-dependent strategies ensures that solutions are drive and led by Afghan men and women, to promote community self reliance.
