Establishing an education press abroad
The UNO Education Press began as a part of an International Red Cross effort in the early 1980s, printing and copying documents for Afghan refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Since the 1980s, the press's clients have included:
- Afghan ministries, especially the Ministry of Education
- President Karzai's office
- U.S. Embassy
- U.S. base at Bagram
- UN offices
- International and Afghan NGOs
- Private entities
The Kabul Press serves Afghanistan's education system and offers employment opportunities for local Afghans.
The UNO Education Press was chosen to print the new Afghan Constitution and the ballots for the first democratic elections in Afghanistan in 35 years.
