Mahboba's Promise - Non-governmental organization, Australians, Afghanistan, Khyber Pass, Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mahboba's Promise is an Australian non-profit organisation dedicated to helping the women and the large number of orphaned children of Afghanistan. It is one of the few non-governmental organisations operational in that war-torn nation entirely funded by private donations and currently looks after over 4,000 women and orphans through 90 projects. The organisation with its close knowledge of local conditions valuably supplements the work of UNICEF in the region. At the age of 14, hunted down for being a student activist Mahboba Rawi hid from the occupying Soviet soldiers in an underground Kabul basement for 20 days. She then fled Afghanistan, crossing the Khyber Pass on foot, arriving at a Pakistan refugee camp hungry and frightened.
