Iranian Women
About Zan
We are a non-profit organization that supports Iranian women in pursuing international education. We know the application process can be daunting and expensive, so our mission is to provide free resources and guidance to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We prioritize applicants with the greatest need and maintain rigorous standards when selecting our volunteers. This marks the beginning of Zan's journey as we assess your needs and plan our services forward accordingly.
