Why Data?

AFSO currently serves 500 women in Afghanistan who have been banned from their universities by the Taliban. With the help of our courses and the pathway we have built, they have risen out of despair and are attaining scholarships and admissions at universities around the world, giving them the chance to complete their education and live lives of purpose.

How do they do this? On their phones. Lacking the infrastructure or the finances for computers or wifi, our students access our live classes with professors from around the world through mobile phone data, which they can afford only with the help of the secure data packages we send monthly to all students in good standing. Data is literally their lifeline to the world and to their future.

At $20/month for 10 months of classes, data for 500 students costs AFSO $100,000 per year. And we have a waitlist of 3,000 students desperate for our classes and the pathway that will lead them, one day, to return and rebuild their country. This holiday season, we hope you'll invest in the enormous impact that we can have together to give these amazing students a chance at the lives they deserve.
