Protect Higher Education for Afghan Women
UoPeople believes that higher education is a fundamental right for all; we cannot fathom a world in which this right is stripped from Afghans, especially women. Many Afghan women fear punishment or even death if they continue to pursue their studies. As a result, we would like to enable Afghan women, if they wish to do so, to study “underground” by taking UoPeople’s online courses from the safety of their homes to avoid detection.
By November 30, UoPeople seeks to raise funds to match the $1.2 million dollars we have already contributed to support the initial 1,000 grants. Every dollar you donate will count towards this goal. We look forward to sharing the impact you will have in solving an excruciating concern for the people of Afghanistan at this deeply challenging time. Any additional funds that we raise will increase the number of grants provided.
Payment may be stopped at any time. No goods or services are provided by UoPeople in return for the contribution. University of the People is a registered 501(c)(3) under California and Federal law. 100% of your donation to University of the People is tax-deductible under California and US Federal law.
*Grants are open to all Afghan students with priority to women.
