Why Afghanistan? Why Now?
In Afghanistan, access to education for girls has been severely restricted. Despite these barriers, many young women are eager to learn, grow, and access opportunities beyond their current borders — but they need the right support.
Speak to the World: Afghan Girl’s English Access
The goal is not just to teach English — it’s to open a door. This project is focused on providing targeted English instruction to high school girls in Afghanistan so they can:
Pass English equivalency exams (e.g., IELTS, IGCSE, or functional English)
Qualify for admission to international schools or university prep programs
Pass Pearson Edexcel A-Levels and GCE Examinations.
Access future scholarships, remote work, and global mentorship

“This work is personal to me. I believe in the power of education to change lives, and I am proud to help bring opportunities to my sisters in Afghanistan. Every visit, every conversation, every challenge — it all matters.”
