📚 Ever wondered what books children read at our libraries? 📚 At Charmaghz, we have a wide selection of books, and our team carefully reviews each one to make sure it’s engaging, educational, and meaningful for the children we serve. Boum Books has been an incredible partner in this journey, creating beautifully crafted stories in local languages, Dari and Pashto—making reading more accessible and relatable for Afghan children. Here, books are more than just pages—they’re a chance to imagine, create, and heal. Boum Books brings stories that not only build literacy and numeracy skills but also spark curiosity, strengthen cognitive development, and help children see themselves in the stories they read. Through their work, they’re also paving the way for more Afghan writers, illustrators, and creatives to shape the future of storytelling. We’re always grateful to have Boum Books as part of our libraries! #Charmaghz #BoumBooks #MobileLibraries #EducationForAll #ReadingForChange
در باره ما
Charmaghz was founded in 2018 to instil the joy of reading in Afghan children through mobile libraries. Based in Kabul and a registered 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. We believe that a necessary, first step towards that future is ensuring all children can read, write, and do basic math. In Farsi, “Charmaghz” means “four brains,” which reflects our mission to expand and fulfil the potential of Afghan children through literacy. Charmaghz is the largest chain of libraries for children in Afghanistan. We operate 16 Mobile Libraries, including five Bus Libraries, one Van Library and ten mobile Library Boxes, to welcome children into a safe, supportive, and creative environment. While visiting our libraries, children are supported to build basic literacy and numeracy skills, but also to engage in art activities, have an open mind, think critically, and to 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. We work in some of Kabul’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods, including Hazara communities and urban slums, where many children are facing extreme poverty, discrimination, and the fear of attacks on schools. Despite these barriers, families value and recognize the critical importance of education, and we are committed to supporting their children.

🎉 Charmaghz turns seven! 🎉 Seven years ago, we transformed an old public bus into a mobile library, not knowing how far this journey would take us. Today, with 1.3 million visits and 20 mobile libraries across Kabul, we’ve created spaces where children can read, explore, and dream beyond their realities. But Charmaghz has always been about more than books—it’s about hope, curiosity, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to learn. As we look ahead, we remain committed to reaching even more children, expanding to new regions, and ensuring that no child is left behind when it comes to education. This journey has been possible because of a community that believed in the power of stories. As we celebrate seven years, we invite you to be part of what comes next. 💜📚 Support our work and help us bring more books, more opportunities, and more dreams to the children of Afghanistan. https://lnkd.in/dNpiRKnQ

January at Charmaghz ❄️📚 Kabul was freezing, and our libraries took a short winter break—but that didn’t stop the love for reading! Even though our spaces were closed, our book-lending program operated for two days, ensuring children could still take home stories to enjoy. 📖💛 As soon as we reopened, we welcomed over 12,000 visits from eager readers, proving once again that a little cold can’t keep curiosity away! Meanwhile, across the world, our team gathered at Oxford for a special dinner, celebrating our journey and the incredible support that makes it all possible. 💛 Here’s to a year filled with books, bright minds, and endless possibilities! #Charmaghz #MonthlyRecap

Education holds a unique meaning for everyone. For some, it’s the freedom to dream big. For others, it’s the key to unlocking opportunities or building a brighter future. But at its core, education is a universal right—one that should be accessible to all. No matter who you are or where you come from, everyone deserves the chance to learn and grow. Happy International Day of Education! 💜 #Charmaghz #NGOsinAfghanistan #InternationalDayofEducation
