Mahboba's Promise

Who we are Mahboba's Promise, incorporated in 2001, is an Australian non-profit organisation dedicated to the women and children of Afghanistan. Mahboba's Promise was founded by Mahboba Rawi, herself a refugee from Afghanistan, now an Australian citizen. What we do We work with widows and children to improve education, offer vocational training and establish them as self sufficient. In addition, we work on primary health care in rural areas and provision of clean drinking water. We have also started schools for girls in areas where they had no educational opportunities. How We Work Being small and having Mahboba’s knowledge of the language and culture, the organisation has been able to respond quickly and with flexibility to meet the needs of widows and children disenfranchised by decades of war and civil unrest. The funding for Mahboba’s Promise is raised in various ways. Mahboba herself frequently attends different types of events, such as giving speeches and attending fundraising events. Apart from this, funds are also raised from social media, appeals, and other activities that are conducted by our team of enthusiastic volunteers.
