Afghan Rise

Important notice

Our operations have been disrupted. Due to recent events in Afghanistan, some work is temporarily slower. Afghan Rise is still running - registration stays open and your information remains private.

Open & honest

Transparency

We are early-stage, volunteer-led, and not yet a registered charity. We believe trust is built by telling you exactly where we are - not pretending to be something we are not.

📋

Not a registered charity - yet

Afghan Rise is not registered as a UK charity or non-profit. Mohammad Khalid Ibrahimi is building this platform honestly during an initial phase. Formal registration may follow as we grow.

💳

Personal PayPal during launch

Donations currently go via personal PayPal to our founder - clearly labelled, not hidden behind corporate branding. This keeps us operational while we build.

🌍

Ground research in Afghanistan

Our team is on the ground in Afghanistan for Phase 1 - understanding real needs, access barriers, and trusted local pathways, so the platform is shaped by evidence from real conditions rather than assumptions from abroad.

🔒

Student data is sacred

No exact addresses. Encrypted storage. Admin-only access. We never sell data. Read our Privacy Policy and Safeguarding section for full details.

Legal & organisational status

Afghan Rise is not a registered charity. We have not registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, nor as a Community Interest Company (CIC). Mohammad Khalid Ibrahimi operates this initiative personally during an initial research and building phase.

Donations are currently accepted via personal PayPal to Mohammad Khalid Ibrahimi. This is clearly stated on our Donate page. Donations are not tax-deductible at this stage. We may explore formal registration as the platform matures.

Ground research: Our team is on the ground in Afghanistan for Phase 1 - meeting communities, understanding access barriers, and mapping trusted local pathways so Afghan Rise reflects real needs rather than assumptions made from abroad.

Volunteers are unpaid. Afghan Rise has no formal payroll or operating budget at launch. Everyone on the team contributes because they believe in the mission.
