The Afghan National Association For Adult Education (ANAFAE), founded in September 2005, with the support of DVV International works to foster the development of local Adult and Community Learning Centers, promotes education strategies and programs for disadvantaged groups, young adults, with a particular focus on literacy, basic education, education for employability and lifelong learning.

In the literacy programs of ANAFAE and its partner DVV International, youth participants learn reading, writing, and numeracy, reflect on their role in the family and community, deal with health and hygiene topics, and develop ideas for their economic activities. These literacy programs have a direct and positive effect on the personal development, family health, and school attendance of children.
