Support Literacy Efforts in Afghanistan

The Kite Runner was based on one of the most acclaimed and bestselling books in recent memory. The literacy rate in Afghanistan, where the book and film are set, is the third lowest in the world; only 43% of men and 13% of women are able to read and write. Therefore, the primary focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Kite Runner is to raise awareness and support for a host of literacy initiatives, including training teachers and building libraries in rural Afghanistan.
