Our Impact: Our educational initiatives in Afghanistan have had a significant impact, benefiting around 10,000 individuals, primarily children, youths, and girls. The focus of our efforts has been on providing educational resources and support in a challenging environment. Despite facing social barriers, security threats, and restrictions from the Taliban, we achieved notable outcomes. We distributed thousands of books and educational materials, especially targeting girl students and those affected by war. Our support extended to funding small educational initiatives such as the Dynamic Girls for Change program and other similar projects. We facilitated online access to educational materials for 60,000 Afghans through an online library and established collaborations with schools to enhance learning. Our comprehensive programs, delivered both in person and online, covered school subjects and included teachings on rights, public speaking, empowerment, and self-awareness. In total, we conducted over 186 initiatives and assisted students in securing scholarships and preparing for them. The primary focus of our educational programs has been on girls and war-affected students, demonstrating our commitment to advancing education in Afghanistan despite numerous challenges.
Millions of children, especially girls, are denied education, but we are determined to overcome these challenges and bring hope. See our vision and challenges in more detail below.
We envision a world where every child and young person affected by crises can access education freely, safely, and without fear, enabling them to grow and reach their full potential.
UNESCO reports that global out-of-school children have increased by 6 million since 2021, reaching a total of 250 million. In Afghanistan alone, over 7.8 million children are out of school, with 80% of Afghan school-age girls—about 2.5 million—denied their right to education.
For their safety in Afghanistan, we use nicknames and symbolic photos to protect our students from potential security threats.
