Change Makers of the World

1. We are currently running in-person schools and educational classes across Afghanistan. Even with strict rules and bans from the Taliban, we are carefully organizing our classes in various provinces, including Kabul, Herat, and Ghazni. We cannot share exact locations or details for safety reasons. Our efforts are made possible through partnerships with schools in cities like Kabul, where we offer classes for girls, even with many limitations. In addition to these partnerships, we also operate independent classes, such as those in Herat, where we educate children and girls.

2. Given the current situation in Afghanistan, our primary focus is on online education for women who are banned from attending school. We offer online classes led by teachers from Europe and America. These classes are available in various formats, including independent and partnership collaborations.

3. Through collaboration with a schools union in western Kabul, we have gained access to more than 70% of recorded school subject lessons. Using these videos, we deliver organized lessons to our students via our platform.

4. We also provide funding for books and school supplies to students and schools, prioritizing war-affected children and girls. We organize book drives and distribute the collected books to students in need.

5. We operate an online library—The Change eLibrary—serving Afghan students across the country. With a network of over 60,000 students, we provide books and educational materials daily through an organized online platform managed by volunteers.

6. Change Makers of the World is proud to offer both online and in-person programs aimed at securing scholarships for Afghan students, particularly girls, to study abroad. So far, nine students have secured scholarships outside Afghanistan. This initiative is ongoing, preparing students for opportunities to pursue their dreams abroad. We carefully select scholarship candidates based on their performance in science subjects (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and English language proficiency. Applications are not publicly accepted; instead, we review and select participants from our existing educational programs. This is a rigorous process but one of our most impactful initiatives.

7. Our lessons cover school subjects, arts, language classes, and empowerment programs. Unfortunately, due to Taliban restrictions, we cannot provide official graduation certificates. However, our documents can support our students in their future academic pursuits, such as applying for scholarships abroad. While our programs help many Afghan girls, online education can never fully replace the experience of learning in a traditional school setting.

8. We support injured and war-affected girl students from Afghanistan who are now in Turkey for education and medical treatment. Change Makers of the World plays a key role in helping them survive and continue their education.

9. We collaborate with German and American organizations to advocate for the human rights of Afghan women. Our goal is to raise their voices on the international stage. We participate in human rights programs, issue statements, and write open letters to international communities, seeking help for the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. We also run a secure, restricted program to gather and report on the current situation of women and girls in Afghanistan, with input from activists across 16 provinces. The final statements, written by Afghan women and girls deprived of their rights, will be shared globally. We also advocate for refugee rights in Europe and America.

10. As a non-political and non-religious volunteer community, we support advocacy against gender apartheid in Afghanistan and the genocide against the Hazara people. We are among the primary groups in our kind recognizing the #EndGenderApartheidinAfghanistan, #LetAfghanGirlsLearn, and #StopHazaraGenocide movements. We encourage other international organizations to join these human rights efforts. For inquiries, please contact us.

11. We provide financial support to families affected by the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Although our focus is on defending human rights and educating girls, we offer this financial aid on a small scale.

12. Afghan women and girls face severe depression and negative thinking under Taliban rule. We offer seminars on self-empowerment, helping them find ways to live better in these dark times. Some of these programs are conducted privately, providing counseling and support through our volunteers.
