Afghan Women Are in Crisis
Afghan women’s lives have completely changed in the past two years. Millions are starving and have lost access to their hard-earned rights, education, and jobs. Urgent action is needed.
Donate to support women in Afghanistan and other places affected by war.

YOUR SUPPORT IS URGENTLY NEEDED
Be a source of hope in their darkest hour
Political and economic insecurity, educational inequality, sexual violence, and poor health are pervasive amongst Afghan women and children, but when equipped with powerful vocational and economic tools, women can change their lives, regardless of circumstance.
Through Women for Women International’s programme, Afghan women are gaining knowledge and skills to support themselves through the current humanitarian crisis. This training is a source of hope and connection for women and their families facing dire uncertainty.
As one of the few organisations still serving women in Afghanistan, we need your help to reach more women.
Be a beacon of hope for women who urgently need it. Donate today.

Adapting to continue serving women in Afghanistan
Your support makes a difference
Thanks to our supporters, we have been able to adapt our programme in Afghanistan to continue reaching women safely, despite restrictions by the de facto government.
Watch women you support literally jumping for joy as one centre reopened last year.
Will you help Afghan women find hope today?
We were happy to hear the programmes were resuming because that means we can learn again and above all we can help our family financially. It feels very painful when our children ask for food and we don’t have anything to feed them.
Sponsor a woman
Sponsor a woman survivor of war through our one-year Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme. Your support will help her get back on her feet and build a brighter future for herself and her family.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why donate to Women for Women International?
For over 30 years, Women for Women International has been serving women survivors of war. Since 2002, we’ve reached more than 130,226 women Afghanistan and are continuing to expand our reach. We are one of the few organisations providing direct services to Afghan women.
Women for Women International has developed a programme that offers women a constructive, dignified way to discover their power. They learn to defend their rights, lead mentally and physically healthy lives, influence decisions at home, generate income, and save money for the future.
We are also proud that our country staff are from the same communities as the women we serve and are respected as local leaders. They are knowledgeable about the challenges women face as well as the opportunities to make real and lasting change.
Why make a monthly gift?
Monthly gifts are a lifeline. They are also the most efficient way to support women in need because more of your donation goes directly to our programmes rather than administrative costs. Our monthly supporters make it possible for our organisation to pivot when the needs of women change – exactly as they did in Afghanistan after the de-facto government takeover.
