Critical Support Needed for Afghan Girls

This fundraiser is organized by Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation.

Afghans are in crisis and urgently need your help!

Afghanistan continues to experience widespread food insecurity and malnutrition, largely due to the loss of global humanitarian aid.

7-12th grade girls have been out of school since August 2021, and the country cannot move forward without educating girls of all ages. THEY NEED YOUR HELP!

Donate today to support Razia’s Ray of Hope as we continue to educate K-6th grade girls and support 7-12th grade girls out of school and their families.

Donations to RRH’s ongoing crisis relief efforts will:

Provide food to families. In the face of economic collapse, girls over age 10 are at increased risk of forced marriage for a dowry; providing essential needs to families reduces this risk.
Deliver hygiene and menstrual products to girls and women. In times of crisis, women’s health and hygiene needs are deprioritized and result in increased health risks for girls and young women; meeting these needs is vital to the physical and mental health of adolescent girls and women.
Serve meals to 600+ girls at school, six days a week. Nutrition is essential to health and education! Providing food in school and for their home during a food crisis encourages families to prioritize their daughter’s education.
Enroll as many K-6th grade girls in school as possible. On average, every year of education for a girl delays marriage by another year; increasing enrollment of young girls is an essential intervention and investment in their future.
Deliver books to 7-12th grade girls. Afghanistan’s 7-12th grade girls can’t be in the classroom; delivering books to their homes supports continued literacy gains, encourages the girls to pursue their interests, and reminds them we are still advocating for them.

Afghan girls are persevering - and they need your help!

Support Afghan girls and their families!
