Help Educate Women & Girls in Afghanistan

Thank you for generous support of Afghan girls. It's donors like you, supporting students like Asma, that make a difference: 

"I can' is the phrase that leads me to all my dreams and goals. In the situation that I live, everything seems impossible. I can work on my self-confidence to be able to fight challenges, turn impossibilities into possibilities, and also graduate from school." - Asma

Being a woman in Afghanistan is incredibly difficult but helping girls like Asma believe in themselves makes it all worth it. Thanks to you:

• Over 25,000 girls are educated in Sahar-built schools each year
• 3,718 girls have been trained in our computer centers to date
• 160 women have been trained in our teacher training center
• 763 girls have been served in our early marriage prevention program to date

The work that Sahar does is so vital and we thank you for your support. “The Afghan Ministry of Education estimates that there are presently 8.35 million students (39% of which are girls) in primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary government schools, including Islamic schooling, out of a school-aged population of 10.33 million. However, 3.3 million children, the majority of which are girls, are still out of school.” (Country Case Study for the Oslo Summit on Education for Development, p. 3 ) We'll keep investing in opportunities for education for Afghan girls to change that statistic. 

Thank you for your generosity and thank you for investing in Afghan girls.
