In May of 2021, Flowers for the Future was founded to establish a connection with students across the world, with the goal of cultivating cross-cultural interactions among the next generation, with our first connection being with a private learning academy in Kabul.
With the return of the Taliban in August 2021, Flowers for the Future quickly morphed into an organization supporting the rights of students across the world to education, regardless of the circumstances.
In January of 2022, we connected with Victoria Shanghai Academy in Hong Kong. They asked if they could join us. They became our first international partners. The students from Hong Kong come to our regular zoom meeting and have have led lessons in Biology and have shared their art and literature as well. They are currently teaching 50 Afghan girls a course on Science and Society.
In December of 2022, through the connections of Women in STEM, we connected with the Thayer Academy outside Boston. Since 2024, Thayer students there have been teaching an Applied Art Course to another 50 Afghan girls.
In the Spring of 2024, The British Georgian Academy began peer to peer courses in Female Entrepreneurship for 45 Afghan girls.
In the Summer of 2024, NHL Stenden University's International Teacher Education for Primary Schools in Meppel, Netherland began teaching a course on Applied logic and Problem Solving.
“They are stronger, more determined, more steadfast in belief than I have ever been, and I cannot help but think: What if the [The Learning Academy] girls had been given my life?”

“We are so happy we are not alone in this world," the Director of the learning academy said to the San Diego students via Zoom. “There are some beautiful minds on the other side of the world who are concerned about us.”
