Mir Mohammad Youssof
Vocational School
The Mir Mohammad Youssof Vocational School is located off the main Kabul-Jalalabad
highway behind the Darmalemeen High School in a residential area of the
city. The Mir Mohammad Youssof Vocational School currently has 190 children.
The number of children will be expanded as additional facilities are completed
and additional commitments for annual support are received from donors.
Both boys and girls attend classes, however, classes are staggered so girls
may attend classes together.
IOC initially rented a house for the school in 1993 but was unable to operate
during the Taliban years. IOC returned to reopen the school in the rented
house in Jalalabad after the Taliban regieme ended.
In 2005 with the help of the family of Mir Mohammad Youssof, IOC was provided
some government owned land and constructed the first phase of the school
with eight rooms and bathrooms for both boys and girls. With the assistance
of Relief International, one of the rooms has been set up as a medical clinic.
Currently the shops are in the open, the kitchen is a temporary structure,
there is no dining room and the guard house is a tent. The next project
is construction of the kitchen and dining room. Additional facilities for
shops for vocational training and the guard house will be constructed as
financial resources from donors are received.
