The Citizenry’s Black Friday Fund Supports Education for Afghan Women and Girls
Today only, all profits from purchases made at The Citizenry go to IBB's underground schools program. Every $120 you spend funds a girl's year of school.
This Black Friday, The Citizenry is turning shopping into a force for good by selecting Ideas Beyond Border’s Underground School Program as the focus of its annual Black Friday Fund. While others focus on profits, The Citizenry is focusing on impact. A globally inspired home decor brand, The Citizenry is aware of how dire the situation is for women and girls in Afghanistan—and they have decided to do something about it.
In Afghanistan, access to education for women and girls has been severely restricted. IBB is empowering women and girls who are willing to risk everything to defy the Taliban’s restrictions. Led by local educators, the underground schools offer students access to facilities, educational resources, and a secure environment to pursue their high school education.
By partnering with IBB, The Citizenry is helping provide essential resources to ensure these schools can continue offering opportunities to those who need them most. Every purchase made during this campaign directly supports the program, helping to fund teachers, materials, and secure spaces for learning.
This Black Friday, your shopping choices can help transform lives. Join The Citizenry in supporting education for Afghan women and girls through Ideas Beyond Borders.
"Our women have grown stronger. They stand up and fight for their rights. They use their voices to write, talk, and shout about what is happening to them. As a mother, sister, daughter, and wife, I will work hard for our women. I believe in my abilities, and I will resist as long as I live. Everything I am doing is for my daughters. If we don’t fight back now, we will see women in Afghanistan become illiterate once again. I will do everything I can to help ensure the upcoming generation of Afghan women are literate." - Anonymous Teacher
