The Hope for Education and Leadership in Afghanistan (HELA) organization has successfully graduated the first 20 women of their Women Empowerment Project.
During this project which lasted for six months, the students learned managerial skills, leadership skills, entrepreneurial skills, and negotiation and marketing skills. These will enable them to start their own initiatives, promote them on a large scale and serve their society as equals to men.
This project was led by a HELA leader Ms. Negina Shinwary, so the project was “by women for women!”
“We learned such skills which we never learned before and which are the most important skills for an Afghan women to contribute to her society” – Mahboba Karimi” – Graduated student of this project.
Ms. Negina Shinwary hopes to start this project next year again with new attendees.
HELA believes that women have equal rights to contribute to their society!
HELA is an NGO started by MUN delegates Rahmatullah Hamdard, Sulaiman Sulaimankhil, Mursal Saidali and Madina
