Afghan Private Enterprises


Dr. Sakena Yacoobi  has been working with Afghans for decades and believes in the goal of self-sufficiency for Afghan communities and institutions.
She has developed a program building private enterprises in Afghanistan that develop and improve the education and health systems in the country.
She wants private enterprise to succeed and become self-sufficient. CHI helps by providing support and  technical assistance to Dr. Yacoobi's four private schools, a private radio station and private hospital.​ The schools and hospital have now become self-sufficient. Radio Meraj,  started in 2015, is already one of the top 3 radio stations in Herat and has begun attracting  advertising as it moves to self-sufficiency.

Dr. Yacoobi's Afghan Institute of Learning

The  Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) has always sought to charge some sort of fee for its services so as not to perpetuate an attitude of entitlement and to encourage self-reliance in people. In some instances, fee charging has not been possible because of government regulations.  AIL’s approach to its project startups includes the requirement that communities contribute something - not necessarily money - but land or supplies or a building.  Again this approach seeks to engage the people and create  a sense of ownership and responsibility which means projects are valued and nurtured and protected – a recipe for success and longevity.
