Peace and Freedom Begin with Educated Minds

Dear Friend and Family of AAFE, 

I’m thrilled to share that our students are thriving in their studies and never miss a day of school! Our second graders have become more focused, and while they eagerly embrace their learning, the girls are already facing the harsh reality of being banned from education beyond the sixth grade.

One of our incredible students, Aysha, a bright and determined 8-year-old in second grade, recently shared a powerful message. In a video we received, she confidently recites a poem, declaring that no one can stop her from pursuing her education,

I like to share another one of our students' inspiring journey with you. Manija used to sell pens and plastic bags on the streets to help her family, earning just $0.71 to $1 a day. Now, she proudly says, "I am not a pen and plastic seller anymore. I am a student. Coming to school in my uniform fills me with joy. Every day, I thank God for this opportunity."

Her family’s struggles are real—her father is ill, and her mother works washing clothes in people’s homes to make ends meet. Despite these challenges, Manija is determined to continue her education. “I want peace in my country, I don’t want people to be killed, and I want to keep learning,” she says with a hopeful heart.

This story is just one example of the life-changing impact your support is making.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible generosity. Your support is truly changing lives, giving children like Manija the chance to dream of a future beyond the streets. Together, we are building a brighter, more hopeful tomorrow for these children and their families.

We couldn't do this without you, and we are deeply grateful for your continued commitment to their education and future. Let's keep working together to make sure no child is left behind. Thank you again for being a part of this life-changing journey!

Warmly

Hassina Sherjan
