Community midwife school in Shiberghan in Jawzjan Province in Northern Afghanistan. After 18 months of both theoretical and practical training as well as extensive practice in a nearby district hospital the women will become community midwifes, assisting women in rural areas all over the province. All the women come from different villages and the requirement to start the education is that you go back to your village to work as a midwife there once you graduated. The school has been educating midwifes with the support of Save the Children for five years and is according to both teachers and doctors in hospitals a success. Once graduated the students will provide women with safer conditions for both pregnancy and delivery in rural areas in Afghanistan.
