Donate
Afghan Health Initiative has started an Emergency Fund for Afghan Refugees. We have a goal of $500,000. Our new arrivals have nothing but the clothes on their backs. Consider a gift donation to support Afghan refugees with flexible cash assistance to cover housing, utilities, food, clothes, household goods and more.

Speak Up
Contact Your Elected Officials. Ask your elected officials to:
1) Keep Kabul airport secure and operational
2) Reconsider red tape on immigration
3) Offer Humanitarian Assistance to Afghans still stuck in Afghanistan. Donate to Islamic Relief USA
4) Push back on “reformed Taliban” narrative. Women and girls are most vulnerable and need our support.
