Beyond the 11th establishes partnerships with non-governmental organizations working in Afghanistan. These organizations have long-term commitments to the region, strong grass-roots networks and are committed to assisting widows and their families to self-sufficiency. We work hand-in-hand with each organization to develop programs that address the needs of widows, such as childcare during skills and literacy training, psychological counseling to help the women overcome their loss, clothing to replace the burkas they are no longer forced to wear, and anything else needed to help a widow regain her independence. Our grantees are CARE International, Women for Women International, and Arzu. We are proud to support these organizations. The grants from Beyond the 11th to these non-profits have helped over 500 widows on the road to self-sufficiency. With an average of almost six children each, this support has reached nearly 3,000 impoverished Afghans. We are overjoyed that our program is positively affecting widows’ lives. Self-sufficiency is a giant step in the direction of dignity. Click on the links to the left to read more about Beyond the 11th Grantees. |
