Afghanistan


When bombs started falling on Kabul, this 15 year


old f led with her mother and six siblings to India.


Her father stayed behind, and sends money when


he can. Culturally, her mother cannot work, so their


family has no other source of income.


In Afghanistan she was not allowed to go to school,


but in India she has the freedom to learn, although


she fears that if her father found out, he would


stop her. So she has chosen to remain anonymous.


With an education she sees a future where she can


make her own decisions. Her dream is to become


a fashion designer, not a wife in an arranged marriage


where she is forbidden to work.


Her story is one of millions from the bottom of the


world’s rich list. To read more, and see how you can
