 What a great Christmas gift!
Give someone a share in a Shura
Shuras are traditional Afghan village councils and your Christmas gift will assist Voice of Women Organisation in
Afghanistan to construct a Women’s Shura Centre in Enjil a district in Herat city, Afghanistan.
This Women’s Shura Centre will give local women many sustainable advantages, initially a safe meeting place and the opportunity to learn literacy and numeracy skills. This foundation can then support women to run their own development programs, including small business production supported by outlets in Australia. There are many possibilities and this creates hope for women in this local community in Afghanistan.
