We Work with our community kids and Afghan Youth to bring the National flag of Afghanistan on the International screens. It was a massive opportunity for our kids to hold hands and walk with their heroes, stand and hold the Flag and be able to interact with celebrities on a greater scale. To be honest, seeing the Afghanistan national flag and national anthem most of us come to tires of joy. What great teamwork Speaicl thanks to Matt from T20Iworldcup2022 management team and our great friends @Ashutosh mirsa @Naz Braksi and the rest of the team

On its third day, Women Empowerment and Leadership distributed 9 large and 100 small Ramadan Food Packages for the vulnerable Afghan Women and Children in Kabul. During this holly month, it is our obligation to provide and extend a helping hand to the needy. As the majority of Afghan population is living under the poverty line, a lot of people are therefore vulnerable and at risk of hunger. Therefore, those privileged and able to help are obligated with providing as much as they can. By this post, WEL is not seeking for raising funds, but we insist on finding appropriate ways for everyone around the world, who can and will help to support as much as they can. This is the time that you can make a difference to humanity and prevent collapse of a generation due to hunger. WEL will continue supporting the vulnerable families, especially women and children in Afghanistan. Please follow the process of our Ramadan Food Package Support on the coming days. 27 more days to go.

On the occasion of the International Day of Journalism, Women Empowerment and Leadership (WEL) association procured and distributed a basic food package for the families of 20 Afghan Journalists in Afghanistan. The basic food package included flour, rice, and oil beside other commodities. Afghan journalists have played a significant role to be the voice of the nation and defended the basic human rights in the country. While they represent the general population through exercising the right of freedom of speech, nowadays it seems that they have been deprived of that right. Silencing the journalists gives the impression that the new administration in Afghanistan is attempting to silence the nation. To prove this assumption wrong, we request the new administration in Afghanistan to ensure that the freedom of speech right is preserved for all, particularly for the Afghan journalists who tirelessly work to ensure a better community in Afghanistan. Once again, we wish the International Journalism Day to everyone, and hope that the families supported through this program have accepted our assistance as a small token of appreciation for the brilliant work they are doing.

First and foremost, on International Women’s Day, I wish all the women of the world, and especially the Afghan women, who suffered too much! Despite severe restrictions and difficult security and social conditions, fortunately today we were able to bring together a number of women and celebrate International Women’s Solidarity Day to show the world that Afghan women, despite the threats and anti-feminist pressures, still stand for active participation in the development process of Afghanistan. Held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industries in Kabul, the purpose of this event is to enhance women entrepreneurs and support their active participation in business so that Afghan women can achieve greater achievements in the future. Afghan women are the driving force of our society and should play a significant role in the prosperity of Afghanistan’s economy and industry. I admire such women. Thanks to the working group that worked tirelessly, especially to Mr. Sayed Nazim Khelwati for organizing and coordinating the event. With the financial support of Ms. Rita Anwari

04/03/22 Women Empowerment and Leadership Founder Rita Anwari Sultani welcomes another two families from Afghanistan with a delicious cake as usual. After 6 months of her hard work, eventually, she made it to assist them to get to Australia, the land to the opportunities, and give second chance to these beautiful children. It is quite stressful what they have been through for the past few months, on the other hand it is also relieving to know that they are out of the stressful situation. Particularly, for the kids who had to bear the impact of the wrong politics that the adults did in the country. But now a bright future can be ensured for them in Australia, where they can receive their desired education and their basic human rights. As an organization entirely dedicated to the empowerment of women, WEL will always be here to support these kids in every step of their journey for a better future in Australia, including finding the best pathways for education. It is timely to thank all the people who helped us get these families out of misery. Lives have changed for good thanks to the roles these amazing people played in securing visas and relocating these families out of Afghanistan. In particular, Senator Paul Scarr and his office for their tireless support to this family and so many more.
