FIGHTING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT SERVED THE U.S.
On August 30th, 2021, US Military Forces departed Afghanistan. Since then, Taliban have escalated their systematic execution of all those who worked with US Forces, starting with our translators. We need your help to help save the estimated 140,000+ SIV applicants who are still awaiting a Special Immigrant Visas for their service. These loyal and trustworthy Afghans served with U.S. combat veterans and need our help now more than ever. Click below to learn how you can help.
A Message from Kim:
5 years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, our work continues, even with visa processing stalled.
As August 15 approaches, I want to share more than a fundraising appeal. I want to share the story of the Association of Wartime Allies: why we began, how our work evolved, and why we remain committed to Afghan wartime allies today.
Through "Letters from AWA", I’ll take you behind the work, from the years before the fall of Kabul to the development of AWA’s unique support model, The Afghan Digest, and the difficult months surrounding August 2021.
These letters are about the people behind the acronym, the work that often happens out of public view, and a commitment that began long before the world started paying attention.
I invite you to read the full Letters from AWA below.
