Shikh Abad Lycee — Boundary Wallد شیخ آباد لیسې د احاطه دیوال پروژهپروژه دیوار احاطه لیسه شیخ آباد

About This Project

The Afghan Diaspora Center (ADC) is a volunteer-led effort that unites Afghans living across the United States to support their home communities. Shikh Abad Lycee's protective boundary wall was rebuilt as part of a joint reconstruction initiative that also covered Zarni Lycee and Captain Taj Mohammad Khan Lycee (Otarai). The work was coordinated locally by community shura leaders — Dr. Abdul Wali Wardak (who oversaw the entire Shikh Abad school compound), Malek Abdul Qadus Khan, and Dr. Roshanak Wardak — and funded through a wide appeal to the Afghan diaspora across the United States, as well as friends in Europe.

The photographs below trace the work from surveying and marking the wall line, through stone-and-brick construction.

Funding for the Protection Wall

According to the local committee's report, the Shikh Abad protective wall was funded directly by Dr. Abdul Wali Wardak (London), who took full personal responsibility for its cost:

A friend from Germany also donated 10 laptop computers to Shikh Abad Lycee. The $3,400 raised for the neighboring Zarni and Captain Taj Mohammad Khan Lycee boundary walls — and the full list of donors who contributed to that separate fund — is documented in the combined Zarni & Captain Taj Mohammad Khan Lycee report. All figures and names are taken directly from the local committee's Pashto-language completion report.

Thank You

This project was made possible entirely through the generosity of the Afghan diaspora across the United States and Europe. The Afghan Diaspora Center thanks Dr. Abdul Wali Wardak, the local shura, and every single donor listed above for securing Shikh Abad Lycee for its students.

The Center also thanks Ehsanullah Aryanzai for his local reports on the school's condition, which helped guide this project.
