Charmaghz Cultural & Services Organization

Charmaghz was founded in 2018 to instill the joy of reading in Afghan children through mobile libraries. Based in Kabul and registered as an NGO, Charmaghz grew from the dreams of a group of Afghan youth whose childhoods were scarred by war, and who wanted to secure a peaceful future for the next generation. Charmaghz operates 16 mobile libraries, including five bus libraries, one van library, and ten portable library boxes, to welcome children into a safe, supportive, and creative environment. While visiting our libraries, children are supported to build essential literacy and numeracy skills, engage in art activities, have an open mind, think critically, and develop a love of reading. Across all of our activities, we utilize trauma-informed approaches that support children to process the distress and grief that nearly every Afghan has experienced. 

Background:

Charmaghz is delighted to launch a new literacy and numeracy program in 2023, which will serve over 500 primary school girls in Kabul in three education centers. We are seeking a consultant to develop teaching and learning materials for this program, in Farsi, to be used by students and teachers in the program.
