We are just 2 weeks away from A New Dawn Brunch Benefit for Afghanistan!

What does hope sound like?

On October 3, join us in Seattle for A New Dawn Brunch Benefit for Afghanistan and hear from Zarifa Adiba, an Afghan musician, author, and advocate whose voice and music bring powerful perspective to the fight for Afghan women and girls.

Zarifa will speak about her experiences and share mesmerizing live music during a morning centered on community, culture, and the belief that Afghan girls deserve the freedom to learn and shape their own futures.

This is more than a brunch. It is an opportunity to listen, connect, and stand alongside Afghan women whose voices continue to demand attention, dignity, and opportunity.

Join us Saturday, October 3 at 11 AM at the Mt. Baker Rowing & Sailing Center in Seattle.

120 girls are still learning through Underground TechSheroes.

Last year, Safer World donations and matching funds helped cover the first six months of their 2026 program.

Now, we need our community’s help to keep that learning going.

As Sahar continues operating on reserve funds, every matched gift helps sustain access to computer skills, confidence-building, and educational opportunity for these students.

Give today and help us carry this program forward:

We are proud to share that Sahar Education Executive Director and Afghan women’s rights advocate Meetra Alokozay will join an international panel at the United Nations for the UNGA 81 High-Level Side Event, “Women, Peace, Justice and National Reconciliation in Afghanistan.”

On September 21, Meetra will bring her perspective and experience to this important conversation alongside leaders and advocates working on women, peace, justice, and Afghanistan’s future.

Meetra has dedicated her career to advancing girls’ education, gender equality, and youth empowerment, with a deep understanding shaped by living and working in Afghanistan for much of her life.

Afghan women must be part of the conversations and decisions that shape Afghanistan’s future. We are honored to see Meetra representing Sahar Education and helping bring Afghan women’s voices and leadership into this global forum.

In August 2021, Sahar’s plans changed overnight.

Work on the Sultan Razia Girls Boarding School was put on hold. Programs built for a very different Afghanistan could no longer operate as they had before.

The question became: How do we continue creating educational opportunities for Afghan girls and women when the entire delivery model has to change?

Our donors helped make the answer possible.

Supporters who had invested in Sahar’s vision trusted us to redirect resources, listen to Afghan partners, and build new programs around the realities girls and women were now facing.

Instead of walking away, Sahar pivoted.

Stealth Sisters began in 2022, providing secret classes in English, information technology, women’s empowerment, health, and wellness for girls who could no longer attend school. The program went on to educate 60 girls.

Sahar also worked with partners to empower 520 students through mobile schools and a library book program, while piloting literacy and sewing education with 20 women.

The buildings changed.

The classrooms changed.

The way education was delivered changed.

But the belief that Afghan girls and women deserve the opportunity to learn did not.

This chapter of Sahar’s history was possible because donors trusted us to adapt and because Afghan educators and partners found new ways to keep learning alive.

And 1 week from today, we will come together to reflect on 25 years of change, including the moments when changing course was the only way to keep moving forward.

Join us virtually September 23 at 6 PM Pacific Time for Generations of Change: 25 Years of Sahar Education.

On October 3, the Sahar community will gather in Seattle for a morning centered on something we believe deeply: when Afghan girls have access to education, its impact can continue for years and even generations.

One of the women joining us is Sahar graduate Hasenat Eqbali.

Hasenat attended Gohar Khatoon Girls High School, where Sahar helped construct a new school building and computer lab. She later participated in the coding program that preceded Underground TechSheroes. Today, she works as an information technology specialist in the Vancouver School District.

Her journey is one example of why investing in girls’ education matters.

Come hear these stories in person while enjoying Afghan-inspired brunch, music, henna, our benefit auction, and a morning with the Sahar community.

Only 2 weeks to go. Reserve your seats today:

And this is a great event to experience together. Invite friends, colleagues, or family and take advantage of discounted full-table pricing.

During Sahar Education’s annual benefit, guests will hear directly from Afghan women, take part in an auction featuring prizes from generous sponsors, and come together around a mission that remains urgent. Special guest Hasenat Eqbali, a Sahar program graduate, will share her journey from Gohar Khatoon Girls High School to her work today as an IT Specialist. Musician, author, and advocate Zarifa Adiba will also join the program with a musical performance and remarks.

Every seat at A New Dawn Brunch for Afghanistan represents something larger: a commitment to stand behind Afghan women and girls as they pursue education, skills, independence, and opportunity.

Sahar’s programs create educational opportunities and safe learning spaces in partnership with locally based organizations in Afghanistan, supporting women and girls as they build skills, confidence, and greater independence.

A New Dawn is an opportunity to turn support into action. Proceeds from the event will fund Sahar Education’s 2027 programs for women and girls in Afghanistan.

120 girls are learning through Underground TechSheroes. We need your help to keep them learning.

Their first six months of programming were made possible in part by the incredible support of our community.

But as of July 2026, Sahar is operating on reserve funds. Institutional funding has been cut, and competition for grants is growing.

A matched gift today can help us continue creating educational opportunities for these students.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

Out of that profound loss, some families and friends of those who died chose to build something rooted in hope.

They created the Safer World Fund with a mission to address conditions that can allow extremism to take root, including the lack of access to education, economic opportunity, and health care for women and girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Twenty-five years later, that commitment continues.

Through GlobalGiving’s Safer World Campaign, donors can support locally rooted organizations working to strengthen opportunity, well-being, and resilience in communities across Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Sahar Education is honored to be among the projects supported through this campaign.

On a day shaped by remembrance, we also honor the belief that education, opportunity, and investment in women and girls can help build a more peaceful and connected future.
