We imagine a future where Afghan art is proudly displayed in homes across the globe — and where every girl believes in her worth.
What We Do
We help girls in Afghanistan turn their artistic talent into opportunity.
Showcase their art in a beautifully curated online gallery.
Sell globally, with secure payment systems.
Ship art worldwide, starting from Afghanistan to the U.S.

We’re not a business — we’re a mission. The entire platform is built and run by volunteers who believe Afghan girls deserve a global stage and a real shot at success.
Unleashing Hidden Talent from the Heart of Afghanistan
Our Mission
At Estadad, we exist to empower young Afghan girls by giving them a global platform to showcase and sell their original artworks — turning raw talent into real opportunity.
Our Story
Born from the belief that talent knows no borders, Estadad (which means “talent” in Persian) was founded to bridge a powerful gap: connecting gifted Afghan girls with a world ready to admire and support their creativity.
In a country where art is undervalued, we created a space where creativity breaks through. Estadad is more than a marketplace — it’s a movement.
Meet the Dreamers Behind Estadad
Led by a passionate team of creators, techies, and visionaries — including Afghan youth and female artists — we work together across borders to make Estadad thrive. From Afghanistan to the USA, we are a family united by purpose.
