THE FILM
WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS
Award-winning WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS goes inside the first girls’ school in one Afghan village for an education that goes far beyond the classroom. The girls, their teachers, and school founder Razia Jan confront what it means to become a woman in a rigidly patriarchal society, and how they can achieve their dreams despite the obstacles they face. Remarkable changes happen when a community skeptical about girls’ education learns to embrace it. Sill, threats that girls face – from forced marriage to Taliban attack – loom large.

OUR IMPACT
“We opened a school for girls in Afghanistan to help break the cycle of poverty through access to an education in a very poor area. By providing these girls with an education, we are giving them a ray of hope to protect them from the vicious cycle of poverty, malnutrition, and hunger.”
