Afghan Women's Fund

Description

AWF supports the works of several different grassroots organizations and volunteer groups in Afghanistan. Such as the organizations which are working with widows and orphans for education, empowerment of women, and health issues. These and other groups are seeking to raise the currently deplorable level of health care and maternal and pediatric care in Afghanistan. AWF and WAW promote Afghan women through the creation of safe forums where Afghan women can network, develop programs to meet their specific needs, and participate in human rights advocacy in the international sphere. Ms. Vorgetts makes periodic trips to Afghanistan to deliver donations to the needy women and children of Afghanistan. Through the careful administration of AWF’s financial donations, she funds special vocational and educational projects, as well as, purchases critical supplies for the immediate needs of the women and children of Afghanistan.
