Janice Eisenhauer and Carolyn Reicher, founders of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, started their Breaking Bread Dinners almost two decades ago to raise funds for programs that empower Afghan women and their families through education. Working with regional and international partners, the organization funds schools, libraries, community literacy courses and training for thousands of local teachers, improving the quality of education for students of all ages.
