Welcome to SAGE
The mission of SAGE is to empower Afghan women and girls to reach their full potential through access to high quality education.
Support for Afghan Girls' Education (SAGE) is a Rhode Island 501(C)3 nonprofit that provides financial and program support to girls and young women in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban takeover in August, 2021, girls over the age of 12 have been forbidden to attend school.
We are currently supporting more than100 female students through tutoring in academic subjects, English language instruction, enabling access to Duolingo coaching and test taking, assistance in obtaining high school equivalency certificates and linkages to online enrollment in US community college online degree courses.
These girls and their families, are at considerable risk of discovery and retaliation from the Taliban, in the form of harassment, beatings, imprisonment and possibly worse.
Nevertheless, they believe that education is worth the risk.
"Education is the most powerful weapon that I can use to change the world."
-Fatima, age 17
We have been able to provide desks, chairs, computers and internet access, along with academic support. Help us make more possible.
SAGE also advocates for Afghan women and girls by calling attention to and documenting Taliban abuses, particularly of the Hazara, some 8 million Shi'a Dari speaking people inside Afghanistan.
Please consider supporting our work through a donation. We promise to use your donation wisely to impact as many girls as we can in the safest way possible.
