More than 100 Afghan women in Kabul graduated with a state-approved high school degree on November 21st! Afghans from all walks of life attended the ceremony-- from high-ranking government officials and diplomats to families and friends of the graduates, everyone was excited to see Afghan women succeeding. Even the media made an appearance! TOLO, an Afghan news station, reported on the graduation and interviewed AAE's founder, Hassina Sherjan.
The beautiful thing about an AAE degree is that our students are abound with options after they graduate. Some may choose to stay at home to raise their children, but others may choose to work in their communities, teach at an AAE school, or go on to university. The key word is options: with an education, Afghan women have so many more choices than they did before, and they will improve their families and communities no matter what they choose.
None of this would have been possible without you, our treasured partners for peace. The AAE team cannot express how truly grateful we are for your continuned support. If you feel so inclined, we'd like to extend an invitation. 3,000 AAE students across Afghanistan need a sponsor to ensure they can graduate just like their sisters in Kabul. For just $30 a month, you can be that sponsor and know your contribution is making Afghanistan more peaceful by the day.
