Studying in Secret, But Not Alone

By Allie Renar | Operations & Finance Manager

More than 300 young Afghan women are now enrolled in the Secret Scholars Online program—a powerful testament to the desire to learn, even under the most difficult circumstances. In a country where education for girls is banned beyond the sixth grade, this program is a lifeline.

These students come from across Afghanistan, logging in quietly and courageously from their homes. Through a partnership with Learning Upgrade, they study English, math, and critical life skills on a mobile-friendly platform. To ensure no girl is left behind, Sahar provides internet support so students can continue their studies uninterrupted.

They are not alone in this journey. Three Afghan women educators, themselves a symbol of resilience and leadership, run virtual classrooms through Google Classroom. They provide lessons, answer questions, offer encouragement, and build a sense of community among students who are often isolated in their homes.

Together, they are building a movement—one girl, one lesson, one connection at a time. Education is happening in secret, but the impact is undeniable.

Thank you for helping make this possible. Your support allows these girls not only to keep learning, but to keep dreaming.
