About Us
Who we are
EquityEd is a technologically advanced online International University-College providing real-time classes with female teachers/lectures in fully synchronous virtual classrooms in local regional languages. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) describes the availability of education in the local language as a necessity for empowerment and successful social participation. Languages currently available are Dari, Pashto, and English, with Arabic and French soon to be included.
A real citizen-created Virtual University-College without political borders and without political influence we are restoring the basic human right of education to millions of girls and women internationally, in their own language and in their own homes where a rewarding education has been made too difficult or denied.

Founder Message
My Vision for EquityEd: Empowering Minds, Building Global Harmony.
As the founder of EquityEd, I started this journey with a simple and deep belief: education is the key to unlocking human potential. It began when I was exploring providing Virtual education to women and girls who faced exclusion due to societal pressures. But soon, I realized that this was not just a local issue—it was a global challenge.
Our Virtual Classrooms became bridges across continents, reaching students in every corner of the world. But EquityEd is more than technology; it’s an enlightenment. Education isn’t just about textbooks and exams; it’s about igniting dreams, fostering resilience, and creating empowered individuals.
When a girl learns to read, she gains more than literacy; she gains a voice. Education dismantles superstitions, challenges stereotypes, and breaks down barriers. It’s the antidote to xenophobia, leading to a more inclusive society. By lifting people out of poverty, education transforms lives and connects us as global citizens.
Yet, our mission extends beyond classrooms. It’s about shaping attitudes. When we embrace diversity, accept new ideas, and celebrate different religious views, we pave the way for harmony. Imagine a world where conflict yields to compassion—a world where we trade knowledge, not weapons.
Join me in this vision. Let’s build a future where education knows no boundaries, where minds flourish, and where every student becomes an agent of positive change. Together, we’ll create a symphony of learning, echoing across cultures and generations.
Welcome to EquityEd—where education isn’t just a subject; it’s a revolution.
