Afghan Scouts Humanitarian Fund

Today, the full impact of the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan is reaching Kabul in the form of displaced people from other provinces attempting to reach safety. PARSA staff are overwhelmed at the unbearable sight of people sitting on the ground in parks and open spaces without shelter, food and water. The precipitous withdrawal of the US/NATO troops and aggressive military campaign of the Taliban has left everyone reeling.

At PARSA, the only response for us at this period of time is to organize our well-trained Afghan Scouts Youth and our staff to start dispersing emergency aid as they have done in the past as a part of their community service. Tamim, our Deputy Director and the leader of the Afghan Scout Movement, is reorganizing his staff and leaders, taking inventory of camping gear we can distribute, and preparing our response.

We are reaching out to our supporters and others in a request to donate to this emergency effort which will allow us to help people while government and humanitarian NGOs organize to respond to this humanitarian crisis. All funds will go to emergency supplies. We appreciate your support for this initiative in these devastating days.
