Get Afghanistan Right

As United States diplomacy continues to spread across the globe, and the war in the Middle East finally subsides, Americans are becoming more interested in helping Afghanistan establish their new democracy. As a country that is at its earliest stages of new political and social growth, they will need all the help they can get. Not only are they rebuilding their identity in the eyes of the world, but they also need to rebuild their cities and work towards instituting a new order of government, economy, and industry.

This will take time, but with contributions from other non-partisan countries only interested in the well-being of the citizens, it will be time well spent.

Obviously, if you are interested in helping Afghanistan then you can make a monetary donation to any of the several charity organizations that have been established to aid in this cause.

For instance, ARYA sells semi-precious stone jewelry and embroidered shirts and bags and gives one hundred percent of their proceeds to the aid of orphans and widows in Afghanistan. Similarly, there is a non-profit organization called Help the Afghan Children which is aimed solely at empowering the children of the fledgling democracy through academic development.

JAHAN, which means universe, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-political, humanitarian organization that is also dedicated to helping save the women and children of this war-stricken nation. The name is also a acronym that stands for Join And Help Afghanistan Now.

Of course, you can always give food, clothing, and monetary donations to large, international charity organizations. The Red Cross immediately comes to mind, as does other health organizations like Partners in Health. You can also give to the United Way which is a volunteer-led, nonprofit organization that seeks to right issues at their roots. These are great avenues for helping Afghanistan become a nation created by the people.
