Director Message

Dear Friends and Supporters,

In the face of immense challenges, the resilience of Afghan women and children continues to inspire and fuel our mission at Support Children and Afghan Women Needs Organization (SCAWNO). Afghanistan has endured decades of conflict, economic instability, and restrictive policies, leaving its most vulnerable populations—women and children—facing unparalleled hardships. Yet, amidst these adversities, SCAWNO stands as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.

As a women-led organization, we understand firsthand the barriers to education, protection, and empowerment that our communities face. Our programs are tailored to break these barriers by delivering impactful solutions: from providing education to street-working children and vocational training to widows, to offering essential health services and advocating for gender equality. Every initiative is designed not only to address immediate needs but to create sustainable pathways to empowerment and resilience.

We firmly believe that investing in women and children is the most powerful way to rebuild Afghanistan. Women are the backbone of their communities, and children are the architects of a better future. Your support enables us to deliver life-changing programs that equip them with the tools, skills, and confidence to rise above their circumstances and thrive.

Despite the challenges, our commitment remains unwavering. Together with our dedicated team, partners, and generous donors like you, we continue to ensure that no woman or child is left behind. We invite you to join us in this journey of hope, empowerment, and transformation.

Thank you for standing with us to create a brighter future for Afghanistan.

Warm regards,
Dr. Razia Sahak (Ms.)
Executive Director
Support Children and Afghan Women Needs Organization (SCAWNO)
