Elevating Lives, Empowering Futures

Our Impact

Education

According to UNESCO, for more than 265 million children around the world, education is only a dream. Poverty remains one of the most significant factors that hinder access to quality education. Countries with the highest out-of-school rate are also among the poorest countries in the world.

During our inaugural year, we collaborated with various universities and institutes of higher education in Afghanistan to secure 20 full scholarships, partial scholarships, and tuition waivers for the university students.

This agreement lasted four years, from 2015 to 2019, and assisted numerous students, who otherwise would have not had the chance to attend the university in achieving their educational ambitions. Additionally, the organization donated two-thousand books to students of all ages in Afghanistan, and academic books to various libraries and universities in Afghanistan.
