Description

In the face of incredible adversity, hope shines brightly. Uplifting Afghan Girls (UAG) stands as a beacon of hope for gifted young Afghan women, providing them a pathway to a world-class education in the United States - an opportunity denied to them by the Taliban.

Our partnership with Afghan educational charities allows us to identify and nurture the talents of these remarkable young women, all of whom have found sanctuary in safehouses after the Taliban closed their boarding schools and orphanages. Together, we are breaking barriers and unlocking the potential of Afghanistan's future leaders.

But our mission doesn't stop at selection. With the support of generous private educational institutions in the US, we secure full scholarships covering tuition and fees for our students. We pave the way for their journey to the US, guiding them through the complexities of the F-1 visa application process and coordinating safe transit.

Once in the US, our dedication continues. We handpick host families who open their hearts and homes, providing a nurturing environment for our students to thrive. From after-school tutoring to medical care, from winter clothing to mental health support, we ensure that our students have everything they need to succeed.
