My Nonprofit Reviews

When thinking of my time at Women For Afghan Women, it always brings a smile to my face. I saw with my own eyes the changes in the women that attend their empowerment classes; they quickly gain confidence & pride in their ability to be more independent. Native English speakers may take our skills for granted but learning to speak English is a huge accomplishment for these women. Through these empowerment classes women get the academic assistance & emotional support necessary to thrive in this new world & culture foreign to their own. They not only learn to speak and read English but also learn about American culture. They use these skills to better communicate with others from their children's teacher, to their neighbors and doctor. I remember one woman in particular who had just come to America from Arghanistan. She was quiet and didn't speak a word of English. After about four months she learned enough English to hold a conversation with her children's teachers and gained the indepence to travel using public transportation by herself from home to the Women For Afgan Women classes to pick up her children from school & back home. Women For Afghan Women did wonders for this women and countless women like her. It's an organization that contiues to do great things for all women.
