AFGHAN FEMALE STUDENT OUTREACH - AFSO Newsletter, October 2025

AFSO was a featured partner in The Greater Sum's Accelerator program for startup nonprofits and matched our end-of-year campaign for $5,000.

We are deeply grateful to The Greater Sum and other partners like GlobalGiving that have accepted us into their community and helped us learn to share the impact that an investment in AFSO can have.
