The Context

Over two million young women have been deprived of educational opportunities since August 2021.

Current Educational Crisis in Afghanistan.

Since August 2021, the situation for girls' education has worsened dramatically. High schools have been prohibited for girls, depriving over two million young women of educational opportunities. Even more tragically, tutoring centers have become targets of violence, resulting in the loss of life and injuring hundreds. These factors have culminated in a sense of despair, severely limiting access to education resources, and casting a grim shadow over their future.

Our Story

Kaaj Education was established in early 2022, following a series of targeted attacks, including the a deadly attack in September 2022 on the Kaaj Education Center, where hundreds of girls were preparing for university entrance exams. This tragic event served as a stark reminder of the formidable challenges faced by girls in their pursuit of education and progress. In the aftermath of this attack, Kaaj Education emerged with a resolute mission to empower these girls and provide them with the resources, skills, and support to excel in international colleges and universities, overcoming adversity and fostering positive change.
