Hello, I'm Mahsa Alafar, an artist and educator based in the US, passionate about aiding Iranian art students in pursuing higher education.

Meet Asal, Matin, Negar, and Ladan – four incredibly talented and dedicated art students who are ready to step out of their comfort zones, leaving their families and homeland behind to enrich their artistic skills. However, the stringent sanctions imposed on Iran have created a significant hurdle, rendering international transactions impossible.

That's where our initiative comes in:

This fundraising campaign is specifically geared towards covering the admission fees for their MFA degree applications, a critical step in their journey to realizing their artistic aspirations. It's not about tuition costs; rather, it involves a nominal fee (usually below $100) necessary for the admission committee to review their applications.

Your support, regardless of the amount, has the power to transform the lives of these young women! We urge you to join us in this mission to empower Asal, Matin, Negar, and Ladan, creating a lasting impact on their future.

Even if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing our campaign can make a significant difference by reaching others who may be able to help.

Thanks!

With love,

Mahsa
