"They say some families are bound by blood.
But mine? It was stitched together by stories.
And although I joined late, quietly, like a forgotten line slipping into a poem—
I found my place in AESOP." ~Somaya, 15

$25/month can keep a girl learning!

AESOP student & teacher, Fatima Amiri, speaks at the UNHRC, June 16, 2025

When Fatima started at AESOP, she couldn't speak English.
AESOP helped her become a voice for the voiceless.

Each semester, we enroll about 600 girls and women, from school kids to mothers. Each with a beautiful spirit and a bright future that they refuse to let go.

Our program is more than just classes. It is a lifeline of hope and a refuge from loneliness and despair.
