Voices Unveiled
This is our moment to choose hope.
We must raise $50,000 to keep our programs alive. Without your help, Voices Unveiled will be forced to close, leaving Afghan women and girls without the education and community they depend on.
Make a gift
Support Afghan women's education — every month.
Your monthly gift keeps our Self-Empowerment and Feminism course and over 13 electives running and reaches Afghan women who have been shut out of school. Sustaining gifts are what let us plan ahead and keep showing up for our students.
Every dollar you invest directly impacts the lives of Afghan women and girls. Choose an amount to see what it makes possible.
No one has ever supported me or given me the kind of encouragement and learning opportunities that Voices Unveiled has. This course gives me strength and a reason to keep going.

Their voices
These are the lives your donation supports.
I hated being a girl. I thought my life was over. Voices Unveiled helped me love myself again. It gave me hope for my life and future.
Before joining Voices Unveiled, I wished I could be someone else. Now I thank God that I am a girl.
I was not confident enough to speak. Now I believe I am valuable, precious, and need to be heard.
