ABOUT US
Guldasta Academy
We turn homes into school for Afghan girls, ensuring they have access to quality education.
Founded by Ferdous Shahidi, inspired by his mother Guldasta's resilience after the passing of his father at a young age, Guldasta Academy started in 2023 to address the education ban on girls in Afghanistan. It serves as a symbol of hope, empowering young girls with knowledge and the opportunity to build a brighter future.GAPS

Guldasta Academy Personalized School (GAPS) program provides quality education to Afghan girls through Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), which provides learning access online and offline. This helps young girls in Afghanistan have hope and be empowered to build a better future for themselves and their families.
