Ascend is an NGO that empowers young Afghan women through holistic athletics-based leadership education while sending a greater message to the world: women deserve rights, respect, and power.

Since 2015, Ascend girls have transformed themselves and their communities through exceptional athletic achievement and inspirational community service. In 2018, an Ascend team member became the first Afghan woman to stand atop Mt. Noshaq [7492m], Afghanistan's highest peak.

Heading into 2022, Ascend team members are adjusting to new realities in Kabul and new lives in Chile, Ireland, Denmark, USA, and other willing host countries. They need your support.
