I'm a little confused........

Are they building libraries for the Afghan people? If so will donations of books in English do the Afghan people any good? What percentage of the Afghan people speak English? What language do they speak in Afghanistan.

My understanding is the large majority of the Afghan people are not literate....like over 75%. If we want to help them then perhaps books in their language might be more useful
