February 2026

We are pleased to share that Peace Dale Congregational Church has selected SAGE (Support for Afghan Girls’ Education) as our Mission of the Month.

On Sunday, February 8, we will welcome Anne Sliney, a board member of SAGE, along with Khadija Nazari, the organization’s Founder and President, to our worship service. Khadija is an Afghan woman who fled her country after the Taliban takeover and now leads SAGE’s courageous work to provide education for girls and young women in Afghanistan—many of whom are currently banned from attending school.

SAGE is a Rhode Island–based nonprofit that operates a secret school in Kabul and supports students with academic instruction, English tutoring, GED preparation, and pathways to higher education. Their work is carried out under extraordinary conditions and with deep commitment to justice, dignity, and hope.

We look forward to hearing directly from Anne and Khadija about SAGE’s mission, the girls they serve, and how our church community can support this life-changing work.
Please join us on February 8 as we learn more about SAGE and stand in solidarity with Afghan girls whose right to education is being denied.
