02 / The people behind Bahar
Bahar English & AI Academy is shaped by educators who bring together teaching, technology, AI, and community service, especially for Afghan girls and learners facing barriers to education.
Afghan Educator · CEO & Academic Lead · Digital Education Advocate
An Afghan educator and English teacher building a career at the intersection of education, technology, and community outreach.
Anbaren is a Computer Science student at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), with a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies. She is also a freshman at Kabul Medical University through Medicenter. Through these paths, she brings education, technology, and community outreach together to create meaningful opportunities for Afghan youth—especially girls who lack access to education.
Her leadership developed through action. She has taught English through online courses and educational organizations including ABAAD, Pink Academy, and Afghan Open University, helping students strengthen communication, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence.
Her work as a Dari–English interpreter and Nutrition & Food Trainer has given her experience communicating with diverse people, training others, and building trusted relationships with learners and communities. As CEO and Academic Lead, she helps create educational initiatives that combine technology, English language learning, and personal development.
Anbaren believes Artificial Intelligence can help expand access to quality education for the Afghan community. Her growing range of technical, academic, and organizational skills enables her to contribute effectively in digital and international environments.
Her goal is a future in which education creates not only knowledge, but also skills, confidence, opportunity, and the ability for every young person to shape their own future—particularly Afghan girls who have been deprived of educational opportunities.
“Leadership is the courage to identify problems, unite people, take initiative, and develop solutions that make a difference.”

The platform aims to make English, digital skills, leadership, communication education, and practice more accessible to people excluded from traditional education by barriers.
