Slideshow of RAWA Orphanages


One of RAWA's projects in social sector is to help orphan children and take care of them. In 1986 Meena, the founding leader of RAWA, established an orphanage in Quetta of Pakistan. Since then RAWA has established many orphanages in Pakistan and inside Afghanistan to take care of ill-fated Afghan orphans, who are great in number due to 2 decades of war.

But in Afghanistan they are not only orphans who need support, RAWA also gives shelter and education to those children whose parents are no longer able to support them due to poverty. There have been many cases that parents sell one of their children in order to feed the others, so sometimes we accept children who are actually not orphans.

Here are photos of some RAWA orphanages in Pakistan and Afghanistan. RAWA is running 5 orphanages in Pakistan comprising hundreds of girls and boys. We also have a number of orphanages inside Afghanistan too but due to security problems unfortunately can't post more exact information about them on our web site.

YOUR help will enable RAWA, though deprived of any governmental or international agencies' assistance, to further its democratic anti-fundamentalist agenda in a more effective manner and help the most needy Afghan women and children.

By sending monthly sponsorship fee you can sponsor a child in one of our orphanages. Your donation will cover food, cloths, education and other expenses of an orphan.
