Officially Started Class: L.E.A.R.N. Program Expands to Reach 20 Afghan Women Students

Embrace Relief is thrilled to announce an exciting milestone for our L.E.A.R.N. program to provide education for Afghan girls and young women. All 20 of our college students—10 in Computer Applications and 10 in English—have officially begun their classes for the fall 2024 term! These students are embarking on a transformative educational journey that will equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to uplift not only their lives but also their entire communities.

L.E.A.R.N. has been instrumental in providing opportunities for Afghan women who, due to economic and cultural barriers, have often faced challenges in accessing higher education. With the support of our generous donors, these 20 women are now on their way to securing brighter futures. Our 10 students in Computer Applications are gaining the digital skills necessary for the modern workforce, while our 10 students in English will soon become educators, empowering future generations by fostering literacy and promoting knowledge.

Education in Afghanistan remains one of the most critical tools for breaking cycles of poverty and oppression. The L.E.A.R.N. program goes beyond providing access to education—it offers a path to economic independence, leadership, and the ability to change lives. These women are paving the way for a new generation of leaders, learners, and innovators. By studying from the safety of their homes, they are building futures that will ripple across their communities, creating lasting change.

The expansion of our program to include English education is a significant step forward. These 10 new students will be trained to become educators, a role that not only benefits their personal growth but also contributes to their local communities by increasing literacy and providing future opportunities for Afghan children and women. The women pursuing Computer Applications are on track to secure remote jobs in the tech industry, a sector that offers financial stability and independence. This growth reflects the core of our mission: empowering women through education and helping them achieve their dreams, no matter the barriers they face.
