About Campaign
Thousands of teenage girls in central Afghanistan have been deprived of the right to education for years due to restrictions. This lack of opportunity has affected their personal growth, social development, and future prospects. This campaign offers a window of hope, learning, and empowerment for girls who no longer have access to school.
Built on an existing volunteer-run program in Bamyan Province, the initiative has, for two years, provided free English language training and basic psychosocial support in a safe and culturally appropriate environment. Currently, 30 out-of-school adolescent girls are enrolled, many of whom have no other option to learn or remain connected to education.
Despite harsh winter conditions, limited resources, and societal constraints, these girls continue their education. They gain self-confidence, hope for the future, and a sense of belonging in society showing that with minimal support, their potential is immense.
Campaign Objective:
The goal is to expand the existing program by introducing computer education and basic digital skills training. Over one year, two groups of 15 girls will receive instruction in:
- Computer literacy
- Basic digital skills
- Online marketing
- Introductory concepts of online businesses
These skills aim to support continued learning, relative self-reliance, and future livelihood opportunities.
Use of Funds:
All funds raised will be used transparently to:
- Provide heating for the learning space during Bamyan’s long winters
- Procure basic computer equipment and educational materials
- Cover essential program costs to sustain a safe learning environment
Who Benefits:
Out-of-school adolescent girls in Bamyan who currently have no access to formal education. This program offers them education, psychosocial support, restored self-belief, and a path to independence.
Every contribution no matter how small can create a meaningful and lasting impact. Your support is an investment in education, human dignity, and the future of a generation eager to learn despite profound challenges.
We sincerely thank all supporters and donors for standing with these girls and helping build a brighter future.

Kawsar Kamal
My name is Kawsar Kamal, an Afghan woman human rights defender and community educator based in Bamyan Province, Afghanistan. For over five years, I have been actively engaged in women’s empowerment, education for out-of-school girls, and community-based humanitarian initiatives, working both independently and alongside UN Women implementing partners and local women-led organizations. As a young woman activist operating in a highly restrictive and fragile context, my work focuses on creating safe, informal learning spaces for girls who have been systematically excluded from formal education. Currently, I am volunteering in two extremely remote and underserved areas of Bamyan, where adolescent girls and young women are living under severe social and psychological pressure following prolonged denial of their right to education. Many of these girls are experiencing depression, anxiety, isolation, and loss of hope, with no access to formal schooling, psychosocial support, or safe community spaces. In response to this urgent situation, I have initiated voluntary English language and basic computer literacy courses for out-of-school girls in these communities. These classes function not only as educational opportunities but also as women-led safe spaces where participants can reconnect with peers, rebuild confidence, and regain a sense of purpose. For many of the girls, these sessions represent their only remaining access to learning, social interaction, and emotional relief. This initiative, however, is operating under severe resource limitations and significant personal and operational risk. The areas are geographically isolated and lack basic infrastructure, learning materials, digital equipment, and secure transportation. As a woman facilitating education for girls in a highly restrictive environment, I face ongoing safety concerns, mobility constraints, and emotional strain. Without immediate support, the continuity and safety of these activities are at serious risk,
