" Education is the most powerful tool for change, and as a Millennium Fellow, I am excited to turn my vision of empowering women in my community into action that creates lasting impact. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Afghan Women Learn
Our project aims to create a secure, online learning platform for Afghan girls who are currently banned from school due to Taliban restrictions. It gives them access to free learning in their own language. Through open educational resources, peer mentorship, and digital learning tools in local languages. Our goal is to ensure that girls can continue their education safely, privately, and free of cost. The activities will start from curating and translating the better educational content including math, science, languages and more. Secondly, we start building a secure and lightweight website for easy use. Next, recruiting volunteers who are ready to serve as remote tutors or mentors. Then, we would start raising awareness through social media to reach Afghan communities. I have a clear milestone for each steps, and as well as some challenges in application of my plan that could be discussed widely.
About the Millennium Fellow
Zainab Mohammadi, a Computer Science student at Asian University for Women, was born and educated in Afghanistan and now living in Bangladesh. Growing up in a patriarchal society gave her a deep understanding of the challenges women face, as well as their resilience and strength. She is committed to supporting the women of her hometown who are deprived of basic rights and education. Believing education to be a key pillar of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, she sees this fellowship as an ideal opportunity to turn her vision into reality and contribute to meaningful, lasting change.
