The Afghan Women's Mission (AWM) works closely with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) to support health, educational, and other programs for Afghan women. Despite the rhetoric from 'official' circles, conditions in Afghanistan have not improved since the fall of the Taliban and the U.S.-led bombing campaign. AWM is facilitating health care and educational projects serving Afghan refugees, in particular women and children. Medical and educational supplies are desperately needed in order to combat the mental suffering, illiteracy, joblessness and poverty rampant in this country.
