DAANISH
Women's Education Initiative
About
Daanish enables women and girls in Afghanistan and its neighbouring Iran and Pakistan to access education and higher education opportunities.
Advocacy: We actively engage with universities and other educational institutions, advocating for financial support and more opportunities for Afghan women.
Mentorship: We connect, facilitate, and provide one-to-one mentorship to Afghan women to overcome financial, logistical, and other challenges and access learning opportunities.
Opportunities Hub: We provide a centralised database of educational opportunities and resources—both online and offline—initiated by different organisations and groups since the Taliban announced restrictions on girls' education. ​
Daanish is a member of the Alliance for Education of Women in Afghanistan (AEWA). Established in 2023, AEWA is a collaborative platform uniting organisations committed to improving educational access and quality for Afghan women and girls.
