- Love Does has been fighting for human rights and providing education to children in conflict zones for over 15 years. They have built a school in Afghanistan and are bringing tremendous hope to the faces of these students! Due to the conflict in Afghanistan, many families had to flee their homes, halting kids' education in the process. Their hope in building this school is to give these families the community and stability they deserve while also creating a place of fun and learning for their students.
