Lighting the Path to a Brighter Future
for Girls and Women of Afghanistan

In 2023, we hosted an in-person seminar and exhibition on “The Importance of Reading Books” in Ghazi, Kabul, Balkh, Baghlan, Bamyan, Kunduz, Ghor, and Takhar, benefiting 200 girls who left with renewed inspiration to read and continue their studies. We have shared our students' stories on social media and with international organizations. Our founder has conducted interviews with Afghan girls to better understand their personal experiences and challenges.
Additionally, GPC, in collaboration with two other organizations, coordinated an open letter from Afghan girls to world leaders after the second anniversary of school closures. Titled “2 Years of Darkness,” the letter addressed the issue of hate in Muslim countries. GPC has also spearheaded campaigns against gender apartheid, gathered video messages from young girls to inspire their peers in Afghanistan, and launched a petition advocating for Afghan girls' rights.
Through GPC’s educational opportunities, we have supported both girls and boys on their path to university by providing preparatory work and financial assistance. For instance, one of our Academy students, Yalda, received a fully funded scholarship to a university in Malaysia, with her travel expenses covered by GPC’s founder and supporters.
GPC is supported by international ambassadors who are leading our fundraising efforts, ensuring Afghan girls know they are not alone nor left behind. GPC continues to inspire young changemakers worldwide to believe they can create initiatives and movements for a more just world.
