Mission Statement

Victory Afghanistan's mission is to bridge the educational gap and create remote learning opportunities for girls in Afghanistan, offering them a path to continue their education despite the barriers they face. Victory Afghanistan stands firm and determined that no girl is left behind in her pursuit of knowledge and education. Through our interactive remote English, and mentoring classes, our aim is to equip these young women full of potential with the language and life skills to build the foundation needed to unlock a world of online education and remote work opportunities.

Description

In September 2021, girls in Afghanistan above the 6th grade were banned from attending school. According to UNICEF, 80% of Afghan girls and young women, approximately 2.5 million individuals, are now out of school, with nearly 30% never having had the opportunity to begin primary education. This situation has confined many to a life of domesticity, robbing them of the chance to reach their full potential.

In response to two years of learning loss and the increasing isolation of women and girls in Afghanistan, a group of four Afghan women from around the world founded Victory Afghanistan in July 2023
