The Woman & Girls Match Fund 2023

0

Announcement Page

Despite marking two years since the Taliban banned women’s education in Afghanistan, we aren’t giving up hope. Our belief that positive change is still possible has earned us a spot in The Big Give’s Woman & Girls Match Fund 2023.

 Some key information: 
  • Between Wednesday 11th October to Wednesday 18th October, Rahela Trust aims to raise £5,000. 
  • This £5,000 will be match funded by The Big Give. 
  • That means one donation brings TWICE the impact.
  • Funds will be matched up to our £5,000 target. Any funds raised over the £5,000 target will still go towards Afghan women’s education through scholarships and mentoring, but will not be matched by The Big Give.
  • To help make this happen, donations MUST be made through The Big Give Campaign page – the link to which will be shared with you via our website, social media and newsletters on launch day (Wednesday 11th October).
  • We have one week to make this happen!
  • £10,000 would enable us to provide MORE SCHOLARSHIPS, supporting FIVE more scholars and reaching 50 more women and children through community initiatives. 

 Why does this all matter?
  • Women have been banned from education. This is not right. Their fight is a global fight – for equality, for dignity. 
  • THANKFULLY, due to our size and connections in-country, our scholars are still able to study, receive mentoring and retain hope.
  • We’ve been providing talented Afghan women with Afghan university scholarships since 2016. Supporting us allows you to directly provide young Afghan women with an education, helping to create future local leaders for a more progressive and equitable future in Afghanistan.
  • This campaign doesn’t just help individual scholars. Between 2022 – 2023, our scholars reached 370 women and children through their community initiatives. 
 We need your support to provide more scholarships!

2 Years Since the Taliban Takeover

0

Today marks two years since the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.

Our work providing university scholarships and mentoring to women in Afghanistan continues. Afghan women are not deterred from fighting for their rights and they do this in so many ways.

Today, alongside our partner The Circle NGO we shine a light on one of our scholars who continues to support her community by offering embroidery workshops to improve economic and mental wellbeing.

Anon RT Scholar: “There are so many ways I can help others in my daily life, and I thought, for a good cause, you don’t have to spend a lot of time and money. Small changes can have a big impact

At the time, I was thinking about what girls and mothers would do if schools were closed continuously, to combat the mental and economic problems and cultural problems that make girls marry underage. I settled on hand-embroidery lessons with very limited resources and taught girls hand-embroidery.”

 Where there is education, there is hope and action. 

Show your solidarity with Afghan women and girls and support the call for a Global Summit for Women and Girls by signing the global petition – here – and share to your network. You can repost on socials or use the campaign resources below.

You can also donate using the Support Us tab at the top of this page.

LaunchGood Campaign | Ramazan Appeal

 

In April 2022, we launched our Ramadan Challenge with fundraising platform, LaunchGood.

We encouraged our community to donate as much as they possibly could – from a £1 and up – to help provide a university education to underprivileged, talented women in Afghanistan.

Throughout LaunchGood’s Ramazan Appeal there is a chance to double your donations if you raise the most money out of all the participating charities on that day.

Though we weren’t competition winners this year, we did manage to raise £1,364.

Thank you so much to everyone involved and to those who donated. We and the communities we support are so grateful.
