About Us
We are a UK-based, Afghan-led charity striving to create positive and progressive change in Afghanistan.
​
We will do this by providing talented, underprivileged women university scholarships, alongside leadership training and mentoring, and access to global professional networks.
​
Our scholar's contributions to civic life will ultimately lead to a more balanced and equal society in Afghanistan.
Our Misson
Rahela Trust's mission is to provide university scholarships, mentorship and access to local and global professional networks to disadvantaged and talented Afghan women from rural areas.
Scholars are committed to building a future where women are full participants and leaders in society.
By growing a community of educated young women committed to improving women's lives in Afghanistan Rahela Trust envisages a society where women's rights are respected. Where women are fully involved in the social, political and economic aspects of life.
