Solidarity with grassroots in Afghanistan
The launch of our association, our first event, who we are, what we do, how we do it and what are our future plans.
In the event we will go through our approach of decolonising the aid, reaching the grassroot through local connections and less bureaucracy more action perspective. We will discuss how we successfully managed to:
1- Build a transit spot for the Afghan refugees fleeing from southern districts of Afghanistan crossing into Pakistan.
2- Hired an Afghan female refugee teacher to provide mental comfort to war affected kids through learning and playing (with the financial help from Finnish Psychologists for Social Responsibility).
Silti minä nousen ry is an association where we work and engage with local activists in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Through educational and recreational activities, we aim to provide a mental breakdown relief in refugee camps and transit points to the war affected newly arrived women, kids and other vulnerable groups affected by recent seizure of Kabul in August 2021.
