A fundraiser for a family in Afghanistan who must flee the country for their safety.

Wellington

We are fundraising for a family in Afghanistan whose lives are in danger due to work they have done for NGOs and Western governments. This includes work defending the rights of women and girls across Afghanistan.

They have three daughters, aged between 2 and 7. They aim to get them to safety by attempting to travel to Pakistan to seek asylum in a third country. They have two pending applications for relocation to other countries, but these cannot be processed until they have left Afghanistan.

They have been unable to work since the Taliban takeover. We hope to raise enough money for the family to travel to Pakistan and survive there for two months.

For safety reasons, we are not disclosing the identities of the family yet.

Please note that this fundraiser is in NZ currency. $NZ100 is approximately only $US61.

This fundraiser is endorsed by Rachel Tan of the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN).

Kia ora,

We will be extending this fundraiser for a few more months as the family is still in hiding in Afghanistan. The political situation is worsening there, but some leads have opened up.
