Zar's Stars

The founder’s own program. Zar puts her stage and her feed behind it, and every dollar goes to remote classrooms for girls banned from school in Afghanistan.

Liz's Wizards

Liz’s program backs the First-Chance Fund: scholarships, books, and breathing room for refugee and displaced students starting over.

Liz's site — coming soon

Student Kabul province

Amina, 14

Top of her sixth-grade class when the ban came down. Wants to be a doctor, and hasn’t stopped studying by lamplight since.

Student Herat

Setara, 16

Two years of secondary school taken from her so far. Teaches her younger sisters what she remembers, and wants the rest back.

Student Badakhshan

Roya, 13

From the mountains that gave the world its lapis. Loves mathematics; owed a classroom that can’t be closed by decree.

To protect the girls we serve, student profiles are anonymized and representative of our first cohort. Every sponsorship funds a real student, and sponsors are matched as enrollment completes. Prefer to give once? Donate below.

Where the money goes

What every gift funds

Open Classrooms

Remote learning for girls shut out of school — connectivity, devices, and stipends for teachers who refuse to stop teaching.

The First-Chance Fund

Scholarships for refugee and displaced students: tuition, books, and the breathing room to actually study.

Loud Advocacy

The stage and the feed, used to keep girls’ education impossible to ignore.
