Help Balkhi get his MBA & support his family of 6.
Donation protected
Hi! I have been accepted to a one year MBA program at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. This is a dream come true for me and my family.
I am raising funds to cover part of tuition and rent for the 12 months I will be at university. Lehigh gave me a 50% scholarship on tution and I have some money saved, but its not enough.
While many people see all the challenges in my home country of Afghanistan, it is a beautiful place populated with ambitious, entrepreneurial people like me. After earning my degree, I will return to grow my business consulting company, employ even more Afghans, help build a civil society, be better able to take care of my extended family, and raise my four young children, who are the future of Afghanistan.
For more information about me, see my LinkedIn page and the website of my small business . And read here for more information on the MBA program.
I am grateful for all my Bpeace friends and colleagues, and for every penny of support. Thank you! Tashakor!
Hi, it's Marla. I have known and worked with Balkhi for over 10 years! I could not be more proud of and excited for him. Balkhi is one of the main reasons for Bpeace's success in Afghanistan.
I have always said that Afghanistan needs more people like Balkhi to help bring peace and prosperity. With access to a U.S. education, Balkhi's influence will be that much greater.
Because gofundme does not exist in Afghanistan, I am happy to set up this page and make sure that every penny goes to Balkhi's tuition and living expenses. Thank you for joining me in supporting Balkhi's dream and Afghanistan's future.
