Skateboarding in Kabul

Photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson is the latest to use her lens to capture NGO Skateistan‘s students in Kabul. The project, started in 2007 by Australian Oliver Percovich, aims to mix studies with sport with the priority of getting girls from poor and displaced families back into full-time education by empowering them through the art, and the fun, of the board. “Coming to Skateistan might be the only chance for some of our students to do a sport, do creative arts, or have a positive education experience,” Percovich told us last year. “They also get to have lots of fun and make friends as part of a youth community built through a shared love of skateboarding.”
