Rahela Trust for Afghan Women's Education
We are a UK-based, Afghan-led charity striving to create positive and progressive change in Afghanistan. We do this by providing talented, underprivileged women with dual a university scholarship and mentoring programme, and access to global professional networks.
Ultimately, our scholar’s contributions to civic life will lead to a more balanced and equal society in Afghanistan.
Afghan women’s rights activist Rahela Sidiqi founded Rahela Trust in 2015 to improve the situation for women in Afghanistan due to the continued, systematic discrimination of women at both the familial and societal levels.
