Why it matters

A hard winter, an empty shelf, a girl kept from school.

Our defining campaign

Let Afghan girls learn.

When schools closed their doors, we opened new ones — online and in the heart of communities. This is our promise: that no girl in Afghanistan is told her education is over before it has begun.
