Empowering Afghan Girls to Pursue Their Dreams

By: Accenture Recruitment

There are times when a cause we connect with is so important, we are compelled to help. Debbie Mayfield, Senior Manager for Accenture Technology in Abu Dhabi, had just such an experience during this year’s Accenture International Women’s Day celebration. After hearing the story of the School of Leadership Afghanistan—a boarding school for Afghan girls, who traditionally are barred from receiving a formal education—Debbie got involved mentoring these young students who are pursuing an education against all odds. Read her heart-warming story here and learn how Debbie is helping empower the next generation of leaders in Afghanistan.
