Building Futures — How Scholarships and School Support Change Lives

Introduction

Education is a fundamental right. Yet for many girls in underprivileged and conflict-affected regions, school remains out of reach. Scholarships and support programs are essential for keeping girls in the classroom and helping them build brighter futures.

The Crisis of Girls Leaving School

Many young Afghan girls leave school early due to:

  • Financial pressure

  • Family responsibilities

  • Limited access to safe schools

  • Social expectations

These challenges threaten their future opportunities.

How Scholarships Create Stability

NAVA’s Scholarship & School Support Program helps girls stay enrolled by providing:

  • Tuition support

  • Learning materials

  • Mentorship opportunities

  • Academic partnerships

This consistent support allows girls to remain focused on learning.

A Story of Transformation

One scholarship recipient shared that staying in school gave her the confidence to dream about becoming a teacher, helping other girls experience the power of education.

The Ripple Effect

When a girl stays in school, benefits extend beyond her:

  • Stronger families

  • More stable communities

  • Greater economic participation

  • Healthier future generations

Conclusion

Scholarships change lives. By investing in girls’ education, we help create a generation of women who are educated, empowered, and ready to lead.
