Our Story

Kaaj Education was established in early 2022, following a series of targeted attacks, including the deadly assault on the Kaaj STEM Tutoring Center in Kabul in September 2022, where hundreds of girls were preparing for the national university entrance exam. The attack was a tragic reminder of the urgent need to support the education of girls like Marzia in the midst of challenging circumstances. Since then, our journey has been one of resilience, determination, and hope. Despite the adversity, we have made it our mission to light the path of education for girls in Afghanistan, so they may become beacons of transformation, breaking barriers and realizing their dreams.
