About Afghan Geeks Education
Grow Skills. Gain Confidence. Go Global.
We are an NGO rooted in Athens, Greece, training Afghan women and youth in web development and AI. Every programme is 100% free and project-based: real builds, mentorship, and support toward employable skills — not theory alone.
What we do
Free tech education built for real work
Afghan Geeks Education combines rigorous training with community — so women can learn safely, build proof of skill, and open doors in the global digital economy.
100% free — always
No tuition, no hidden fees. Donors and partners fund seats so students can focus on learning, not invoices.
Project-based learning
You ship real projects from early weeks — portfolios and apps employers can review — not endless slides.
Women teaching women
Afghan women instructors, often teaching in Dari, with the context students live in every day.
Web & AI tracks
Structured paths from beginner web development to AI-powered applications, with mentorship at each step.
Careers, not certificates
Placement support, referrals, and guidance after graduation — we care that skills turn into income.
Global network
Students join from Afghanistan and the diaspora; graduates work with teams and clients across continents.

Free for every student
Founded by a refugee — for the women his family left behind.
Leadership
Built from gratitude — scaled with purpose
Murtaza Jafari started Afghan Geeks Education after a free coding course changed his own path as a young refugee in Greece. The organisation is what giving back looks like at scale: from one woman, to dozens, to hundreds learning and teaching on the same platform.
Today the team includes graduates who became instructors and builders — keeping the work Afghan-led, practical, and grounded in the communities we serve.
