Frohar Hamidi: Championing Girls’ Education in Afghanistan

Frohar Hamidi is the founder of Sun’s Girls Organization (SGO), a grassroots initiative created in response to the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan.

Through SGO, Frohar provides free online education to young girls across the country, supported by a team of 20 dedicated volunteers. The organisation delivers non-formal, accessible learning in subjects like English, Math, Computer Science, Art, Photography, and even Astronomy. SGO’s tailored programs – ranging from accelerated learning to life skills and vocational training, are designed to break barriers and offer hope where it’s most needed.

Frohar’s work doesn’t just restore access to learning; it helps break the cycle of poverty and create long-term, sustainable change. Her unwavering commitment to empowering Afghan girls through education makes her a powerful advocate for equity, resilience, and a brighter future for the next generation.
