Millennium Fellowship Project: From Afghanistan to the World
The "Talent Show of Afghanistan to the World" is a social project aimed at providing education and empowerment opportunities to Afghan women and youth in the context of the current socio-political situation under the control of the Taliban. In Afghanistan, women's access to education has been severely restricted, creating an illiterate society with limited opportunities for personal growth, social mobility, and economic independence. This project aims to bridge that gap by offering education, skill-building, and empowerment programs that can help individuals, especially women, improve their lives and contribute meaningfully to society. The project will begin in a small village, with plans to scale up and provide support to over 1,000 individuals as it grows.
