Charity
Support. Twenty-three years of war
and oppression in Afghanistan have caused the Afghan
people, especially the children, severe mental and physical
suffering. Many parents have been killed or disabled
and whole families have been displaced. Many very poor
families are still struggling to earn a living. Often
children have been unable to continue their education
or have not had the opportunity for education as they
were out of the country or living as internally displaced
citizens.
Since its foundation in 1995, Aschiana
has become the leader in educating Afghanistan’s
street and war affected girls and boys. ASCHIANA (Afghanistan’s
Children - A New Approach) is an Afghan NGO registered
with the Ministry of Economy. Aschiana means ‘nest’
in Dari, one of the main languages in Afghanistan. The
organization’s mission is to assist the thousands
of war-affected Afghan children and their distressed
families to provide them with a more positive and productive
future.
Cultural Bridges donates a percentage
of its profits to Aschiana. We encourage you to visit
their website (http://www.friendsofaschiana.org.uk)
and contribute to the good work Aschiana does.
