Between Work and a Chance to Learn
11-year-old Ozair from a small village in Ghor province began working on the streets at a young age to help support his family after his father left for Iran and never returned. While polishing shoes to earn a small daily income, Ozair longed to attend school like other children. After hearing about the HEMAT Centre, he made the difficult decision to balance work with education. Through the programme, Ozair gained access to learning and health support, giving him hope for a different future and inspiring his dream of becoming a teacher to help children like himself.
