Dr. Sakena Yacoobi is the founder and Executive Director of the Afghan Institute of Learning, the Professor Sakena Yacoobi Private Hospital in Herat, and the Professor Sakena Yacoobi Private High Schools in Kabul and Herat, and Radio Meraj in Herat, Afghanistan.

The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) is an Afghan women-led NGO and was established to provide teacher training to Afghan women, to support the education of Afghans, and to provide health education to women and children. Under Yacoobi’s leadership AIL has established itself as a groundbreaking, visionary organization which works at the grassroots level and empowers women and communities to find ways to bring education and health services to those in need.
