We will be closed from December 23 to January 2 to give our team time to rest and recharge. During this period, our staff will be offline, and our social media will also take a short break. As we reflect on the past year, we are grateful for advances made in our mission to uphold the right to education for Afghan women and girls. Your support has been instrumental in driving this critical work forward, and we are deeply grateful. As we step into 2025, we will be energized to continue this vital mission with unwavering determination. We wish you a joyful holiday season and a bright New Year!

To close 2024, we are honoured to share the inspiring voice of an Afghan girl named Somaya, currently living under Taliban rule.  This letter is read by Muzhda Akbari, Right to Learn Afghanistan youth advocate, founder of Code Green Afghanistan , and lead of the "Dear World" initiative (100 Actions for 100 Letters Campaign).
