Partnership with RAWA
Project Profile
The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan runs a number of schools and orphanages in Afghanistan and Pakistan. RAWA is eager to host volunteers who can offer their help in any way. We strongly believe that supporting education and cross-cultural contact in this part of the world is a critical step towards undermining some of the roots of hatred and prejudice.

Partnership History
-In June, 2007, we donated $5,010 to support some of RAWA’s education initiatives in Pakistan and Afghanistan. These funds paid for one year’s stationery and reference
books for the 445 children at RAWA’s nine orphanages in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and one year’s worth of stationery, reference books, and textbooks for 58 students at RAWA’s school for Afghan refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan.
-In November, 2008, we awarded a Volunteer Grant to an American man who was willing to commit himself towards serving RAWA’s needs in Kabul, Afghanistan.
