Save the date: Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation event, October 18

Dance the night away at the Wellesley Country Club with Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization that empowers young women and girls in Afghanistan through community-based education in the district of Deh’Subz. Founded on the knowledge that education is key to positive, peaceful change for current and future generations, the foundation’s K-12 school provides free education to 625 girls and is the #1 private school in the district. The adjacent post-secondary midwifery institute provides marketable skills while helping to improve maternal-fetal outcomes. Register here for the event.
