Kalash Community School - Birir Valley

In the Birir Valley - one of the most picturesque valleys where a number of converted Kalashs are concentrated - a tiny group of Kalash decided to estabilish an autonomous and independent Kalash Community School. The school strives to preserve the written language and the endangered traditions and heritage of its culture and prevent these valuable traditions from dying out.

With only two volunteering teachers, both Kalash, the school is maintained by the contribution of the Kalash community itself. But this effort is not enough alone to support the demands of the 44 children aged from 5 to 12 and around 30 adult women who benefit from the project.

The school does not have any facilities and all the students need support to obtain scholar material, adequate books and other necessities.
