Afghan Refugees in Pakistan
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
With the war the need and urgency are greater than ever.
Donating to the Afghan Women's Council (AWC) will directly help them to run the Mother and Child Health Care Clinic in Peshawar, Pakistan, where Afghan refugee mothers and their children can get much needed health care. Your donation will go to pay the salaries of doctors and to buy medications and vaccines.
The AWC also runs Ariana School, a primary to high school where Afghan girls in exile in Pakistan receive a high quality education alongside their brothers.
An urgent project of the AWC is to provide kerosene heaters, fuel, and blankets to 2,000 of the most needy newly arrived refugees. Last year, many Afghan children and adults froze to death during a harsh winter that resembles our climate in northern New Mexico. Our donations can help some families prevent a repetition of that tragedy.
Mrs. Fatana Said Gailani, who founded the Afghan Women's Council in 1986, is a tireless campaigner for human rights and women's rights in her country. For this work, both she and her husband are under a death threat from the Taliban, which has not stopped them from carrying out their work.
Fully tax deductible donations can be made for the work of AWC through Perception, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving perceptual, cultural, and bio-diversity. We guarantee that 100% of your donation will be forwarded to the AWC, soon to be headquartered in Kabul, Afghanistan, serving those in need in both Afghanistan and Pakistan
Please make checks out to Perception and send them to:

One of the first women journalists to travel freely with the Afghan mujahedeen during the Soviet occupation in the late 1970's and early 1980's, Denker, a freelance writer and photographer, exchanged the safety and comfort of her Southern California home for a world "On the Bridge of Fire" to find powerful family and spiritual bonds with a people and culture torn apart by war.
