The SENF Effect

SENF is student-centered, helping kids across Afghanistan to continue learning, catch-up in
missed studies, and prepare for the future. We’ve conducted surveys and focus group discussions
with thousands of children and parents to design SENF to meet their needs.

I am very happy to study in this educational group. I was very sad that I had forgotten the lessons I studied at school before, but now, thanks to this online class which helps me remember my past lessons and also learn new lessons.

I am very satisfied with your teaching process but, due to the financial problems I have, Sara could not attend the lessons today. I am borrowing money to buy another cell phone for my daughter so that she can continue her studies. Thank you.
