What We Do
Teaching Vital Skills
We equip Afghan girls with essential knowledge and tools for their futures. Our innovative programs include underground IT and coding classes, English language learning, tailoring, literacy, health, and women’s empowerment workshops.
Women’s Empowerment
We help young girls champion autonomy to forge resilient female leaders. Our comprehensive empowerment programs address critical issues across conflict resolution, preventing early marriages, enhancing awareness around menstrual, prenatal, and and postnatal health.
Improving Digital Literacy
We impact over 300 girls annually, equipping them with essential digital skills for higher education and the modern workforce. Our Digital Literacy Program is a vital conduit to empowerment, education, and employment for Afghan girls, bridging the digital divide in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

The Sahar Ripple Effect:
One small act has an everlasting impact.
Providing education to girls acts as a catalyst for profound change, setting off a ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom. When girls are educated, they become empowered individuals, capable of contributing meaningfully to their own goals, families, communities, and the economy.
Investing in girls' education in Afghanistan not only transforms individual lives but also has far-reaching effects that create a more prosperous, equitable, and resilient society for generations to come.
Like a pebble being thrown into a pond, at Sahar we know that even the smallest of efforts create a ripple effect.
