30 Birds Foundation

Since the Taliban violently took Afghanistan in August 2021, The 30 Birds Foundation has worked to bring more than 450 at-risk schoolgirls, family members, and girls’ education activists to safety- many of whom have found their new homes here in Canada.

Once out of harm’s way, it became apparent that these girls were not content with mere survival. Their passion to help those left behind and to give back to the communities that welcomed them made clear that our work was just getting started. Inspired by their selfless determination to give back to the world, and recognizing their incredible leadership capacity, our mission evolved to rebuild pathways for Afghan girls to learn, lead, and live freely.

30 Birds is dedicated to ensuring that all Afghan girls, those who've found new homes and those still in Afghanistan, can pursue their academic and professional dreams, make meaningful contributions to their communities, and acquire the knowledge and connections they need to pave the way toward a bright future for themselves, their new homes, and for Afghanistan.
