I'm running 100 miles at Ultra Series SA's Ultra Adelaide to raise money and awareness for secret schools for girls in Afghanistan. In a country where girls are denied education, these schools offer a lifeline, empowering young minds with knowledge and hope for a brighter future and providing employment for female teachers. Every step I take is supporting these brave people and the educators risking everything to teach them. Your contribution will help keep these vital schools running. Together, we can make a difference.
In 2021, when the Taliban took control in Afghanistan, they stopped girls from going to school. Since then, the rights of women and girls have been eroded constantly. But some friends from different places, mostly in Australia, decided to help. They started secret schools for girls in Afghanistan.
They planned carefully and worked with people they trusted inside Afghanistan to find safe places for the schools. Even though it was risky, they managed to set up classrooms in hidden spots in different parts of Afghanistan.
Despite the dangers, girls started coming to these secret schools to learn. More and more joined, eager to get an education despite the Taliban’s rules. Running the schools wasn’t easy. They faced problems with money, safety, and logistics. But the friends never gave up.
Now, they need help to keep the schools running. Donations are crucial to pay for teachers, supplies, and safety measures. You can donate monthly or once to help run the classes. Alternatively, you can sponsor one or more classes. With just $150, you can support one class of 10 students for a month.
Despite the challenges, these secret schools are shining lights in a dark time for Afghanistan. With help from supporters like you, they can continue to provide hope and education to girls who need it most.
