Baba Mazari Foundation – Australia is honoured to support a historic and deeply symbolic mission.
Zakia Mehtar Ebrahimi is now on her way to becoming the first woman of Afghanistan to climb Mount Everest — and she is dedicating every step of this extraordinary journey to the women of Afghanistan, especially Hazara Afghan women, who continue to face some of the harshest restrictions and injustices in the world.
At a time when women and girls in Afghanistan are being denied education, silenced, and stripped of their most basic rights, Zakia is carrying their hopes and their voices to the highest point on earth. Her climb is not just a personal achievement — it is a bold act of resistance, visibility, and empowerment.
And she is doing it in partnership with the Baba Mazari Foundation, raising vital funds for our Women’s Education & Empowerment Program — a program dedicated to creating real educational pathways, digital literacy opportunities, and safe learning environments for women and girls of Afghanistan.
🌺 Why This Mission Matters
For the women of Afghanistan - and particularly Hazara Afghan women, who face layered discrimination and persecution — the world has become increasingly restrictive and dangerous.
Zakia’s climb sends a message that cannot be erased:
Her courage is a reminder that even in the most extreme conditions — whether on the icy slopes of Everest or under oppressive restrictions — Afghan women continue to push forward with strength and dignity.

🏔️ A Symbol at the Summit

This moment will belong to every woman of Afghanistan — and to every person who stood behind her.
