Review for Women for Afghan Women Inc, Fresh Meadows, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a consultant, a donor, and a member of WAW's NY advisory board. I am always impressed by the dedication of the New York board and staff, for whom the work is personal as well as professional. These Afghan women are often illiterate, poor and isolated from the broader community. WAW is a lifeline - its office is homey, safe, and welcoming. Immigration services, domestic violence help, English classes -driver's test prep -it's a one- stop center for women who have nowhere else to go. WAW's Afghanistan work is rightly honored and publicized, but the problems of Afghan women don't go away when they get to the U.S. Fortunately, WAW New York is there to help women in the area one-on-one, to respond to requests for information from across the country, and to be a voice for the rights of all women through advocacy.
