IMPORTANT NOTICE

Wave of Hope for the Future was founded by Afghan refugee Zekria Farzad in the notorious Moria refugee camp in Greece in 2019. WHF was a school for refugees, run by refugees. At its peak it gave hope and purpose to nearly 3 000 students in 4 schools in Greece and 1 school near Kabul in Afghanistan, which was sized by the Taliban in August 2021 when western countries left the country (we managed to safely bring all our Afghan teachers and staff to Rome through the humanitarian corridor of the Italian government).

Unfortunately, after the terrible war in Ukraine started in 2022, we faced a terrible drop in donations and support from European people for our activities in Greece.
This, combined with ever stricter limitations on students’ access to the school and the relocation to Germany and other European counties of most of our refugee teachers, forced us to slowly scale down and finally close our activities in Greece at the end of 2022.

Since late 2022 we concentrate on supporting the right of women in Afghanistan to go to school.
We organise secret schools in teachers’ private homes in Kabul and other provinces where girls can learn English, mathematics, geography, calligraphy and art. At present we have 11 schools with about 1.000 girls on a daily basis.

Educare le ragazze è proibito in Afghanistan. Per preservare la sicurezza dei nostri studenti e insegnanti, abbiamo solo comunicazioni anonime e molto limitate sui social media.
Saremmo molto felici, tuttavia, se desideri sapere di più sul nostro lavoro, o se desideri aiutare a finanziare le scuole.
