The U.S.Association for the U.N. Refugee Agency (USA for UNHCR) has recently received a $100,000 contribution. Hamed Wardak has announced his intentions to make this large contribution. As Mr. Wardak explains, “Together with USA for UNHCR, we face new goals and new challenges in Afghanistan. I want my support to reach a diverse and largely disenfranchised group of tribal and ethnic women who shape the fabric and backbone of Afghanistan.”
His contribution is earmarked to help women, especially widows who are considered to be at the highest economic risk. It will also help to increase employment opportunities and to finance programs for Afghans of all ethnicities who have been displayed as a result of the continuing conflict.
