Benefit Milongas to support Women education in Afghanistan
There is so much going on in the world. We want to do something to help. For this we organize benefit milongas. All the proceeds will be sent to the women in Afghanistan.
We have an online high school that employs Afghan women and educates Afghan girls and young women. Our school has 60 girls! We’re hoping to expand to serve 100. They are so motivated to learn. We just got their report cards back. 83% of them have top grades. They are so grateful for the chance to be educated. The Taliban denies education to girls after 6th grade.
One of our high school graduates:
„Dear Sir. My year at Living Wisdom was life-changing. It gave me more than academic knowledge. It gave me people, confidence and hope. It was honestly the best year of my life so far. Thank you for everything you have done for me.“
One of our teachers, Samreen Makhfi, is also the right-hand woman of the whole Afghan branch of our school. She earns 594CHF a month. At the age of 21, Samreen is supporting herself, her mother and father, her 6 siblings and her grandmother from her salary.
We’re raising money to help fund the teachers‘ salaries and educate the young women who want to learn so much, making the world a better place. We can make a difference in people’s lives.

Be careful. Our girls have some powerful poems on there.
