Who We Are:
Afghan Girls Empowerment (AGE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Afghan girls and young women build brighter futures through education, wellness, leadership, and creative expression.
Founded by Yasamin Amiry, former Afghanistan Women’s National Soccer Team player, refugee advocate, and community leader, AGE was created to ensure that every Afghan girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead despite the barriers she faces.
Through education, mentorship, fitness, and skills development, AGE empowers girls with the confidence and tools needed to shape their own future and strengthen their communities.
Our Mission:
At Afghan Girls Empowerment, our mission is to provide Afghan girls with the education, skills, and confidence they are denied under current restrictions. Through online English and Dari literacy classes, fitness and nutrition coaching, and creative workshops in pottery and sewing, we create safe spaces where girls can learn, grow, and express themselves freely.
We aim to build not only knowledge and health but also resilience, leadership, and hope empowering girls to shape their own futures and inspire change in their communities.
Our Vision:
We envision a future where every Afghan girl has access to education, opportunity, and the freedom to pursue her dreams. A future where girls become leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers in their communities.
