Camp 4 Afghanistan
Your sisters, brothers and children in Afghanistan need your help. The recent, devastating escalation of violence in Afghanistan has forced families to flee their homes in desperate search of safety.
Do What You Can to help Afghan civilians by donating and participating in the Camp 4 Afghanistan Lockdown Fundraiser.
Camp 4 Afghanistan first went ahead on Saturday 28th August. It was a huge success, in just one week over $33,000 was raised, 2000+ social media followers reached and 650 officially registered participants!
This campaign has continued to grow, with many other schools and individuals planning their own compounds. Burwood Girls High School participated in Camp 4 Afghanistan #2 on Friday 10th September and raised another $10,000!

The UN estimates 1.25m people have been displaced and numbers increase daily.
We are focusing our efforts on the needs of the 900+ families that have set up camp outside Kabul and the Panjshir Valley community who have no access to food and basic needs. The number of displaced orphans, widows and families grows daily.

We have activated our response in Panshjir valley after the devastating news of the attack on September 5th. We are supplying food and basic needs to a community of over 1,000 people that we look after in this region. This number continues to grow.
We are currently supporting 900+ displaced families who have set up in the camp outside Kabul close to our orphanage. We are on the ground, providing emergency shelter, food and water parcels, medical and hygiene essentials, water tanks, clothing and other emergency items.
We are actively relocating families, widows and children to safer regions and providing safe passage for some to return to extended family in their hometowns.
Our Hope Houses continue to provide refuge and safety to ensure our orphans are protected and out of harm’s way.
There are many still in imminent danger and in need of our immediate assistance. The situation is volatile and changes daily. Our response is dynamic as we react to people’s needs as every day unfolds.
We urgently need your help to scale up our supplies, resources, manpower, security and transport as the situation worsens.
Your donations to our Emergency Relief Fund will make an immediate impact
Our target is $2 million
