Meet Us!

Hi! Our names are Zoha and Hannah, and we are two high-school students living in Washington, D.C, USA.




Zoha's passion for girls' education developed when she made a speech on the topic in seventh grade. Since then, she has worked on multiple projects to learn more about why girls in developing countries face adversity when seeking education. One of these projects took place in Pakistan in 2014 through in-person interviews with Pakistani teachers, students, politicians, and policy makers; Zoha concluded her findings in a final research report. Although Zoha's work has been focused in Pakistan, she hopes to travel to other developing countries and conduct similar projects through HER.










Hannah's passion for girls' education started in eighth grade after hearing about Malala's story. She was determined to help girls in developing countries who were deprived of their education. She began researching the subject, watching TED talks about girls education, and brainstorming ideas of how she could help girls in developing countries get their education. Hannah then met Zoha, and the two shared their ideas and developed creative ways to provide educational resources to girls in developing countries.
