Hot Water For Hope House Orphanage
AFGHANISTAN is one of the poorest countries on earth with a high proportion of orphans and widows. Health statistics are horrowing, poverty and insecurity are deeply entrenched. Half the children still do not go to school and the literacy rate is one of the lowest among developing countries.
MAHBOBA’S PROMISE is an Australian non-profit voluntary organization dedicated to the women and children of Afghanistan. It was founded by Mahboba Rawi, herself a refugee from Afghanistan, now an Australian citizen. Being a small organization, and having Mahboba’s knowledge of the language and culture, it has been able to respond quickly and with flexibility to meet the needs of the women and children disenfranchised by decades of war and civil unrest.
Mohboba’s Promise works with widows and children to improve education, offer vocational training and establish self sufficiency. Mohboba’s Promise has started schools for girls in areas where they had no educational opportunities. Primary health care in rural areas and provision of clean drinking water are other projects undertaken.
