Nadia Nadim, Thorns FC and Danish National Team player, is a big supporter and advocate for the organization From Street to School. The organization, based in Denmark, strives to send street children from Afghanistan back to school. Children in this region are impacted by a longstanding war and conditions of poverty. Many are orphans who have lost their parents to disease or war. Instead of pursuing an education, these kids take to the streets to earn money for their families, often only a couple dollars a day. From Street to School provides financial support to enable Afghan children to pursue an education and stay off the streets.
