Girls' Education

Girls' Education

Purpose

Change Makers of the World believes that girls' education is essential to the future of every society. When girls have access to learning, families, communities, and future generations benefit.

Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where girls face severe restrictions on access to secondary and higher education. In this context, supporting continued learning opportunities for Afghan girls remains one of CMW's core priorities.

Our Girls Education Programs aim to help Afghan girls continue learning through safe in-person initiatives inside Afghanistan and accessible online opportunities available to learners in different locations.

Activities

CMW supports in-person learning spaces in Kabul and Herat, including the Afghan Girls Tech Academy, where students can study together, exchange knowledge, and participate in educational activities in a supportive environment. These spaces also provide English language learning, digital skills training, and practical courses designed to help participants prepare for future employment opportunities in technology and related fields.

In addition, CMW offers a wide range of online educational programs for Afghan girls. These include foreign language courses such as English, German, and Italian, as well as computer and technology training, introductory coding, AI-focused sessions, academic writing, CV preparation, and personal development workshops. Programs are delivered through structured timelines with the support of volunteer teachers and mentors.

CMW also supports selected students in preparing for standardized international examinations such as TOEFL, IELTS, and SAT, helping qualified participants pursue scholarship opportunities and higher education abroad.

Through partnerships with international organizations, including International Orphan Care and Flowers for Future International, CMW has also supported Afghan girls through online schooling and accredited educational opportunities. In all activities, participant safety and privacy remain a priority.

CMW continues to explore new ways to expand access to learning resources for Afghan girls, including recorded educational content and digital platforms that can reach students across Afghanistan.
