EMERGENCY refugee appeal

Four months ago, families from Kuran and Munjan districts of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan Province escaped their homes and left everything behind to flee Taliban brutality. 

Mahboba’s Promise recently visited the camp to find 300 families living in severely poor conditions. This huge displacement of people has seen no media coverage; they are suffering in silence.

Who we are.

Mahboba’s Promise was founded by Mahboba Rawi, an Afghan refugee and now an Australian citizen, who has experienced first-hand the effects of a country torn apart by years of war and civil unrest. Since 1998, Mahboba’s Promise has established schools, shelters and health clinics across Afghanistan and provided numerous sponsorships to widows and orphans in need. 

OUR Vision

Our Vision is to provide a sustainable future within a secure environment for disadvantaged Afghan women and children.

Where we work

We are a not-for-profit organisation working in both Afghanistan and Australia, engaged with local communities to affect positive and sustainable change.

What we do.

Empower Children

With the generosity of thousands of dedicated supporters, we have four Hope Houses operating across Afghanistan, focused on enhancing the lives of disadvantaged children. 

Promote Self Sufficiency

Sustainable development in war-torn Afghanistan is our mission. We do this through several self-sufficient projects, including our Permaculture Farm and Confectionery Factory.

Educate Women

We believe that the first step in eliminating poverty is to educate women; when you educate a women, you educate a generation. 

Emergency Relief

While we believe firmly in self-sufficiency and long-term development, sometimes emergency relief is necessary. That is why we strive to provide relief to those affected by natural disasters and conflict.

Build Bridges Through Education

Education is at our core. That’s why we work hard at building bridges between the Afghan and Australian community, through several projects such as Schools Promise and Bibi’s House. 

See Our Projects

Mahboba’s Promise upholds values of compassion, tolerance and peace by serving vulnerable women and children in Afghanistan. It strives to empower them to improve their quality of life. In Australia, Mahboba Rawi is a role model for inclusiveness and women’s rights.

I encourage you to support the exceptional work done every day by this significant organisation.
