My Vision
How it all started:
My name is Narwan Nzhat. I graduated from high school in Afghanistan during the Taliban's rise to power, which prompted my departure. In Boston, I completed Year Up, securing a job at an investment firm. Witnessing a video of a distraught Afghan young women denied education ignited a passion in me. I along with my brother and friends, launched a non-profit, RAWAN Organization., aiming to provide education and opportunities for Afghan young women. We've started with English, graphic design, and computer classes, along with counseling and internet access. Our goal is to empower Afghan young women and ensure they have the chance to shine.
