The Problem
Millions of Afghan girls are currently banned from attending school beyond sixth grade. This education ban has created a generation of girls with limited access to learning, economic opportunity, and leadership development. Without education, girls face increased risks of poverty, forced marriage, and long-term dependence. As young Afghan leaders, we have witnessed how deeply this crisis impacts families and communities. Education is not just a right it is a pathway to dignity, independence, and hope. The lack of accessible, safe learning opportunities for girls in Afghanistan is the urgent problem we aim to address.
Our Plan
FAWHE will launch a US-based awareness and fundraising campaign to raise money for Afghan girls' online education. Our team of young Afghan-Americans will host a campus awareness event, distribute bilingual (English & Farsi) outreach materials in Afghan diaspora communities, and run a targeted social media campaign. All funds raised will directly support our pilot program providing three Afghan girls with online high school completion, tutoring, internet access, and learning materials. This campaign builds the fundraising foundation FAWHE needs to grow our impact and eventually expand our healthcare pipeline program, which trains Afghan women as nurses and doctors abroad so they can return and serve their communities.
