Learn more about your impact
Research has shown time and again that one of the best ways to stabilize a country and lead it to prosperity is to empower its women. In business and virtually every other sector, from architecture to journalism to law — even the military and police — Afghan women are drivers of education, growth and self-reliance. Project Artemis is a unique program that trains Afghan women entrepreneurs in business skills, and since its inception in 2005, has created a powerful ripple throughout Afghan communities by generating more than 3,000 jobs for local people and training more than 15,000 fellow Afghan citizens in business and leadership skills.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. In 2022, 22,000 donors contributed $66.3 million for scholarships.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- And donors helped ASU offer more than 4,500 hours of free tutoring.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
