Hamida graduated from an AAE school in 2009 and continued to American University of Afghanistan, studying Business Administration and Finance. Her father, a baker, earns just $200 a month and cannot afford his family's daily expenses, much less Hamida's school fees.

Hamida is just 36 credits away from graduating and cannot proceed without outside support to continue her education.
As a poor refugee in Pakistan, Hamida began school at age 6 and continued at an AAE school once she returned to Afghanistan. Few refugees make it to university level studies. Hamida is intelligent, driven and dedicated to make a difference in her home country through education. By funding her education, you are funding the future of Afghanistan. Hamida is a wonderful inspiration for other Afghan women. With your support, she becomes an example of what hope and determination can achieve.
After graduation, Hamida plans to establish a business to help Afghan women who lack education due to poverty.
