Bringing Education to a Remote Village in Urozgan, Afghanistan
In Khaja Nekpay, a remote village in Urozgan Province, access to education and basic services has long been limited.
In 2024, Women for Change (WfC) established an educational branch in the village, where previously only three men had received a formal education. Today, those same men serve as teachers, helping bring learning opportunities to their community.
The school offers Grades 1, 2 and 3, bringing together students from three generations under one roof. For this community, it represents more than a classroom—it offers hope, opportunity and the chance to build a brighter future.
Every classroom opens a door, and every opportunity to learn can change a future.
Keeping the Doors to Education Open for Girls in Jaghori, Afghanistan
Jaghori District has long valued education, with both women and men historically having opportunities to learn, work and contribute to their communities.
However, since the Taliban returned to power, restrictions on girls’ education and women’s rights have dramatically limited these opportunities. Despite these challenges, the desire to learn remains strong among girls in the community.
In response to requests from local girls, Women for Change (WfC) established educational classes in Jaghori, providing a valuable opportunity for girls to continue learning, develop their knowledge and work towards their dreams.
The program has been welcomed by the local community, helping girls continue their education at a time when access to learning is severely restricted.
At Women for Change, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and shape her own future. These classes represent more than education—they offer hope, possibility and a path towards a brighter future.

Investing in Women to Improve Maternal Healthcare in Waras
For women in Waras District, Bamyan Province, access to safe maternity care has long been a challenge due to limited healthcare services and a shortage of trained professionals.
To help address this need, Women for Change (WfC) supported approximately 15 high-achieving female students to study midwifery at a private institute in Kabul.
The students began their studies in early 2023 and successfully graduated at the end of 2025, gaining the knowledge and skills needed to care for mothers and newborns.
This initiative represents more than an investment in education. It is an investment in women’s health, safer childbirth and stronger community healthcare. By supporting these young women, Women for Change aims to help improve access to essential maternal care in underserved communities.
Each graduate represents new possibilities for mothers, babies and families who need access to skilled healthcare and support.
When we invest in women’s education, we invest in healthier families, stronger communities and safer futures for mothers and babies.
Keeping Education Alive Despite the Challenges
This centre holds a special place in the journey of Women for Change (WfC), as it was the first location where we began providing educational classes under the current regime. For security reasons, its name and location must remain confidential.
Despite ongoing security challenges and changing conditions, students have continued their education through different learning platforms, with classes adapted to daily circumstances.
Through these initiatives, thousands of students have continued learning, and four cohorts of Year 12 students have successfully graduated. These achievements reflect the dedication of students and educators who remain committed to education despite the difficulties they face.
For Women for Change, every graduation represents more than an academic achievement. It represents perseverance, hope and the determination to build a brighter future.
We remain committed to supporting students and keeping educational opportunities open, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Every student who continues learning carries hope for a brighter future.
Creating Educational Opportunities for Afghan Girls
For many Afghan girls, continuing their secondary education has become increasingly difficult. Despite these challenges, their determination to learn and build a brighter future remains strong.
To support their education, Women for Change (WfC) connected its students with Education Bridge for Afghanistan (EBA), an educational initiative working in partnership with the British organisation TLM. The program provides structured learning, assessments and examinations to help girls continue their secondary studies.
This year, a significant number of students successfully completed Year 12, marking an important milestone in their educational journeys. They are now awaiting their recognised certificates, representing years of hard work, perseverance and hope for future opportunities.
Through this partnership, Women for Change continues to help girls pursue their education and work towards their aspirations.
Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, achieve her goals and build a future filled with possibilities.
