In the world of education today, there are few travesties as great as the plight of girls in Afghanistan. Without any opportunity, girls with tremendous talent and potential are not able to continue their education, much less work outside of the home, or even be allowed in public without a husband or a male escort.

In order to provide some hope that there can be a better future and that the world is not giving up on them, EduPathway is collaborating with the Afghan community to bring Afghan girls to the United States to complete their secondary education and go on to post-secondary studies. These girls are very capable and have a strong desire to improve the lives and opportunities for girls and women in their home country and beyond.

Please help contribute financially to this endeavor in any way you can.

Here are the words of one of the girls we brought to the United States recently:

My name is Zahra, and I am an Afghan student currently studying at Veritas Academy in Chisago City, Minnesota. I recently arrived in the United States to pursue my education and build a better future. I have always been passionate about learning, especially in the fields of science and technology. My journey here was not easy — it involved challenges such as leaving my home country, adapting to a new culture, and going through the visa process.

Despite all of that, I am incredibly grateful to be here and excited about the opportunities ahead. My goals are to complete my studies with excellence and eventually use my education to help others, especially girls and young women who face obstacles in accessing education.
