Founded in 2004 by award winning author and journalist Nelofer Pazira and run entirely by volunteers DAWF sponsors basic education and skills-training classes for women who were denied the opportunity for education during years of conflict. In 2006, DAWF began funding a basic literacy program for women in a remote village in Bamiyan. 22 women, ages 18-40 enrolled in that class. The program consists of 5 levels, each 6 months in duration, and meets the requirements of the Ministry of Education. At the completion of all five levels the women will receive a diploma from the ministry that will allow them to continue their education and help them find employment. The women have currently completed their third level, and are actively sharing the skills they have learned. The cost of six months of classes is approximately $150 per student. Funds raised provide teacher salaries and locally bought books and supplies. DAWF is a Canadian Registered Charity
