Since we began our "Give the Gift of Data" campaign in late 2024, we have admitted 500 more students to Afghan Female Student Outreach, and thousand more are knocking on the door. We have hundred of volunteer educators ready to help these women, ejected arbitrarily from university by the Taliban, to cntinue and complete their education. What they still require is a connection to the internet, which we provide through mobile phone data.
As a result of generous gifts to the campaign, we have been able not only to expand our student body, but also to support students in credit-based classes through the Global Higher Education Alliance, which awards American university credit but does not provide internet connectivity. We currently have 6 students in a pilot program through this partnership, earning their undergraduate degrees, full-time, online, because we provide them access.
This program could not be more impactful and direct in its ability to change the lives of Afghan women suffering under gender apartheid. Please visit us at https://www.afsousa.org to learn more and sign up for our Newsletter.
With thanks to all for your support,
