Organisational Overview:

For over 20 years, Mahboba’s Promise has been dedicated to providing a sustainable future to vulnerable women and children in Afghanistan. The organisation has strong ties to communities both in Afghanistan and Australia and utilises these links to foster and develop relationships that protect and enhance the future of the Afghan people. Since its inception, Mahboba’s Promise has established schools, shelters, health clinics, supplied agricultural resources and built critical infrastructure across Afghanistan. The organisation has also provided sponsorships to widows and orphans in need helping those who need it most secure a more equitable quality of life. Their work has also supported women and children from refugee and migrant backgrounds here in Sydney, and with the 'fall of Kabul' in 2021 these efforts have only amplified. Since August 2021, the organisation's work in Australia has grown considerably and will continue to expand. Mahboba’s Promise has also received extensive media and public attention since this time, significantly broadening the current and potential donor base. These are exciting times and the organisation is expecting 2023 to be a year of considerable growth and change, expanding the services they provide to both Afghanistan and Australia.
