" As a girl who once faced the harsh reality of being deprived of education in a place where my dreams seemed forbidden, I understand the profound impact that access to learning can have. In my hometown, where girls are barred from continuing their education, I know firsthand how essential it is to break these barriers. My mission is to ensure that no child experiences the same limitations I did. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow, and I am dedicated to fighting for a world where education is a universal right, not a privilege." – Yasaman Mohammadi "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Education Bridge for All (EBA)
Education Bridge for All (EBA) is a project aimed at tackling the challenges of educational inequality faced by marginalized youth, starting with those affected by poverty, gender discrimination, and political instability in Afghanistan. The project seeks to create pathways for education through a multifaceted approach: securing scholarships, providing mentorship, and offering tutoring and other support to underprivileged individuals. EBA's initial goal is to positively impact a small group of 20 individuals by helping them access education and building partnerships with organizations and universities to sustain and expand this initiative. The project also emphasizes building strong community relationships and listening to the needs of the target audience to address the root causes of educational barriers effectively. By empowering individuals through education, EBA aims to contribute to broader societal progress, fostering hope and opportunity for those most in need while advancing the UN's Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education.
