Not everything about Afghanistan is complicated
Hagar Afghanistan opened it’s shelter just over a year ago. The Kabul shelter has a capacity of 
35 at a time. We were prepared to receive a majority of women who were victims of abuse, rape, trafficking. We were not expecting to receive so many children.
35 at a time. We were prepared to receive a majority of women who were victims of abuse, rape, trafficking. We were not expecting to receive so many children.
In the first 14 months of operations, Hagar served a total of 17 women and 75 children. Some, like five-year-old Mateen, came with their mothers. Mateen’s mother was the victim of horrific abuse, and it put the whole family at risk. The shelter is keeping all of them safe as holistic care helps them prepare for a better future.
Every day, Mateen asks if he can play outside. We want to build him a playground. We need your help. Your gift, of any amount, will provide a simple solution in a very complicated country. Please give today, and give Mateen a place to play.
