Afghan Institute of Learning
We work with ConnectHER to support Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, founder of the Afghan Institute of Learning, who has dedicated her life to advancing girls’ education in one of the world’s most challenging environments.
During the Taliban’s first regime, she established 80 secret schools. Today, she continues to expand access through a network of award-winning schools and programs.
With support from ConnectHER and us, 25 girls received scholarships in 2023, ensuring they could continue their education despite ongoing crises. Dr. Yacoobi’s vision keeps education alive as a beacon of hope for Afghanistan’s future.
