Change Makers of the World (CMW) was established in early 2020 by Afghan youth in Kabul. It was founded on the belief that positive change does not come only from governments or large institutions, but also from young people, communities, and individuals who take responsibility where they are. The name reflects the idea that anyone, anywhere, can create change through practical action.
CMW’s goal was to help Afghan children and girls gain access to education and essential school supplies. It also supports youth empowerment and leadership across Afghanistan.
To help Afghan girls continue learning, CMW has supported in-person classes in Kabul and Herat, alongside a wider range of online educational programs designed to reach learners in different contexts. Through more than six years of continuous activities, thousands of Afghans have benefited from its initiatives.
CMW has also collaborated with partner organizations, including International Orphan Care in California, United States, to support communities in Afghanistan.
Our mission is to work for an Afghanistan where everyone enjoys their basic human rights, every girl and child has access to quality education, and young people are meaningfully included in decision-making. Together, we work toward a more hopeful future for Afghanistan.
Over more than six years of continuous work, Change Makers of the World has supported thousands of Afghans through education, youth development, and community initiatives. More than 2,000 children and students have received books and essential school supplies, while around 2,000 young people, especially girls, have benefited from online learning programs designed to expand access to education.
Hundreds of participants have taken part in in-person leadership, empowerment, and advocacy activities across Afghanistan. The organization has also supported Afghan students in strengthening their English, passing standardized language tests, and securing scholarship opportunities abroad.
In addition, its digital library on Telegram has reached more than 40,000 Afghan youth, providing free educational resources. Through international partnerships, including Flowers for Future International, hundreds of Afghan girls have also been supported to continue their formal schooling online.
