Shin Kalay is a village in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in the Nad Ali District.

It is inhabited by a Pashtun population of 11,000 and adheres to Sharia Islamic law.

Given its political background and ultra-conservative placement, advances in the education of boys and girls is a feat recognized and published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA).

Green Village Schools (GVS), an Oregon-based non-profit organization, has worked over the past fourteen years to construct the most modern educational facility ever established in the region.

There is a computer lab, storage room, bathroom facilities and small library for the students to use.
