Who We Serve

Working Together

two afghani women with chicken Beyond the 11th establishes partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in Afghanistan. These organizations have long-term commitments to the region, strong grassroots networks, and are committed to assisting Beyond the 11th in helping widows and their families reach self-sufficiency. We collaborate with each organization to develop programs that sustainably address the needs of widows through literacy and income-generating skills training.

Our grantees are Arzu, Bpeace, CARE International, and Women for Women International. We are proud to support these organizations. Our grants to these nonprofits have helped approximately 1,000 widows on the road to self-sufficiency. With an average of almost six children each, this support has reached roughly 6,000 impoverished Afghans.

Arzu

Arzu — which means “hope” in Dari — helps provide sustainable income to Afghan widows by sourcing and selling their handmade carpets. Arzu’s goal is to create opportunities for economic self-reliance, education, and health care for Afghan women and their families through a sustainable carpet project that enjoys long-term access to US markets.
