Before joining this class, I felt my dreams were slipping away. But now, I see a path forward. I know I have a future.
Erfanullah Abidi, the convenor of Empowerment Network Circle wants to express his gratitude for the generosity and commitment his Circle has received for the education of Afghan girls. He shares the incredible impact this has made below.
Through your support, we have directly empowered 640 girls by establishing 16 underground classes and have indirectly reached nearly 500 more, giving them access to the knowledge and skills they rightfully deserve.
In the face of adversity, these young girls have shown remarkable resilience and determination. Despite the immense challenges, their thirst for learning remains unshaken. With your contributions, we have provided them with essential resources, safe learning spaces, and dedicated teachers who continue to inspire hope for a brighter future.
Each classroom represents more than just education; it is a sanctuary of hope, courage, and empowerment. These girls are not just students—they are future leaders, doctors, teachers, and changemakers who will one day contribute to rebuilding their communities.
What began as an underground school has now transformed into a powerful movement. Others are recognizing the impact of our model and are establishing similar centres for girls, ensuring that education continues to spread even in the most challenging circumstances. Our approach is inspiring a wave of change, proving that determination and collective effort can break barriers and create lasting opportunities.
The majority of these girls attending our school had lost hope in their lives. Sadly, many girls in similar situations have resorted to suicide. However, we measure our success not only by the numbers but by the words of our teachers and parents who witness the transformation firsthand. They tell us that the girls who have been attending these covert classes have completely forgotten the hopelessness they once felt and are now aiming for a future—even if it remains uncertain.
One of our students, a 14-year-old girl, recently shared her heartfelt words:
Before joining this class, I felt my dreams were slipping away. But now, I see a path forward. I know I have a future.
This transformation is possible because of you. Your support has made a profound difference, and we remain committed to expanding our reach to ensure that no girl is left behind. Education is the most powerful tool for change, and together, we are rewriting the future of Afghanistan’s young women.
Thank you for believing in this mission and standing with us. Your contributions are not just funding education – they are fuelling dreams and shaping a new generation of empowered women.
