We Need Your Help
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are interested in traveling to Afghanistan or Pakistan and volunteering on the ground, we CANNOT help you. The Afghan women we work with do not need skills and equipment, as much as they need funds to do the work themselves.If you feel nonetheless, that your physical help in Afghanistan or Pakistan will make a big difference, please email us.
  • The most useful thing you can do to help Afghan women is to organize a local fund raiser in your community. Download our fund raising kit.
  • Help us receive in-kind donations from local vendors to raise awareness of RAWA. AWM needs: T-shirts, posters, coffee mugs (we can provide the logo), as well as brochures, etc. We can provide tax-exemption to vendors for their donations. Email us if you find a vendor willing to donate these items.
  • Host AWM or RAWA spokespeople at your local university or college campus, church, or community center. Travel and lodging costs will have to be borne by you or your organization. Email us if you want to arrange a speaker.
  • Increase media awareness of Afghan women. Contact your local newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, and ask them to cover the situation of Afghan women. Media can arrange interviews by calling us at 626-676-7884.
  • If you live in the Los Angeles area and are willing to help us set up information tables at various local events, contact us to volunteer.
  • If you have any other ideas that are not listed here, but that you think could benefit this organization, please do not hesitate to email us.
Thank you!




From our Guest Book

Dear AWM:

I am truly sorry that women and children in Afghanistan have to go through so much. My prayers are with all of them. Just remember that no matter what Allah(God) is with you and that he loves you. Also remember that when women from other countries read your stories and when they do your stories touch their hearts.
