The training centre SAWA NSW supports is in Nuristan Province - a remote part of Afghanistan where many people have received very little formal education.  The Centre is managed by OPAWC (Organization Promoting Afghan Women's Capabilities), a secular, independent organisation of Afghan women which focuses on education, health, and women's rights.

The centre consists of two classrooms for children where Dari and mathematics are taught, two literacy classes for women to teach them reading and writing, and one tailoring class designed to equip women with practical skills for financial independence.

The Centre rents a house in one of the towns in Nuristan, which serves as the main learning facility.   Along with the teachers, a Centre manager has been appointed with responsibility for overseeing daily operations.  As there is no internet access, the manager travels to the nearest city every two weeks to provide OPAWC in Kabul with updates and photographs.

In the words of the Centre manager, 'The Centre is more than just a place of education, it is a sanctuary for women in Nuristan who have long been forgotten, a voice for those who have never been heard, and a beacon of hope for a generation that deserves a brighter future'.
