Help Empower Afghan Girls through Sports

CPD would like to thank you again for the continuous support to our project especially in the difficult times of coronavirus and now, during the socio-political power shift in Afghanistan. Same as you, we are also concerned of the future of our social empowerment programs and are regularly observing the situation. For the time being, our decision is to keep the project active and have the alternative of project amendment in need. We had very impactful professional girl sport tournaments under this crowd-funding project in close coordination with line government departments especially Ministry of Education and hoping to continue supporting Afghan girls to practice their human right of accessing public spaces, recreation, edutainment and assembly.

We, the team CPD, are looking forward to your generous support during these critical times. Afghans suffer extreme financial problems due to severe shortfall in economic activities and financial restrictions enforced on Afghanistan by the international community. Financial restriction and freezing reserve funds of Afghanistan have directly affected the people and contributed to nation-wide food insecurity and paralyzing public service delivery by the new regime. All these have unfortunately deprioritized social change development programs including our project aimed at girls’ access to public spaces, recreation, edutainment and assembly. As before, COVID-19 and its consequent restrictions and insecurity incidents by IS-KP are also preventing implementation of social change programs; read our past report dated May 14, 2021 for details. In such a scenario, priority comes to survive the organization and the minimum level of its operations until the situation gets improved.
