Our Journey

A look back at everything we've done so far, capturing all the activities and milestones at MAP.

Resume Building & Personal Statement Workshop

February 2026

MAP organized a resume building and personal statement workshop for our mentees to equip them with the necessary skills to write persuasive personal statements and build effective resumes.

The workshop was led by Sediqa Bakhtiari and Zahra Fayazi with the goal of providing our mentees with the tools to confidently present their skills, experiences, and ambitions.

At MAP, we believe that empowering girls with knowledge and guidance opens doors to real opportunities — and moments like this bring us closer to that vision.

A 7-month Mental Health Empowerment Program

We launched a 7-month Mental Health Empowerment Program for our mentees in Afghanistan, focusing on well-being and academic resilience because education and well-being go hand in hand. This program started in June 2025 and continued till January 2026.

This important work is led by Zeinab Mousavi, an award-winning psychologist at Behravan Research and Psychology Services Organization, with over 20 years’ experience supporting survivors of trauma.

The goal of the program was to help our mentees build confidence, manage stress, and grow personally and academically in a safe and supportive space. The sessions were offered as group also individuals.
