Why It Matters

Your skills can open a door that was shut.

Since 2021, millions of Afghan girls have been banned from going to school. ASA exists to fight back against that, and we do it entirely through volunteers who give their time, knowledge, and care to students who have nowhere else to turn.

When you volunteer with ASA, you are not just teaching a lesson or reviewing an essay. You are showing a student that the world has not forgotten them.
