Seattle, WA, October 01, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Join Sahar Education at Structure Cellars in Seattle, WA to celebrate the ongoing success of programs that educate and empower girls in Afghanistan. With the Taliban takeover in 2021, many nonprofits left the region or shifted their focus to men and younger children. Sahar chose another path. They doubled down on educating and empowering girls and women, providing secret courses for those who refuse to accept the Taliban’s orders.
Girls in Sahar programs learn English, IT, Coding, and women’s empowerment, and gain the confidence to stand up for their beliefs. This October 25, you can join Sahar in celebrating the resilience of Afghan women at the A Night In Afghanistan benefit for Sahar Education.
The benefit is a 2-hour event with Afghan food, music, tea, henna, and inspirational speakers. Hear from Executive Director, Meetra Alokozay, Award Winning Women’s Rights activist, Shogofa Amini, and keynote speaker, Shkula Zadran, former Afghan Youth Representative to the United Nations. The evening promises to educate and wow attendees who can enjoy a cultural celebration while supporting the bravery and resilience of Afghan girls. Catering is provided by Afghan Hawasana Catering.
Sahar Education has been in Afghanistan for over 20 years. Prior to the 2021 Taliban takeover, Sahar built and repaired schools, trained female teachers, and provided women’s empowerment workshops in partnership with The Ministry of Education. Over the last 2 years, Sahar has developed underground coding and IT courses that offer vital skills for Afghan girls and women alongside continued women’s empowerment workshops. Sahar is committed to changing the lives of Afghan girls.
