- Rebuild Afghanistan
- After almost 30 years of war, oppression, and poverty, Afghanistan is just beginning to emerge and recover.
In the past couple of years, Afghanistan has seen many successes including national elections, a new constitution, a multi-ethnic security force, decreasing infant mortality rates, improved access to water, and major infrastructure developments.
Schools have been reopening and young people are coming back to the classroom. Nearly six million Afghan children are now enrolled in school, many for the first time in their lives. More than one-third of school children in Afghanistan are girls.
The U.S. has a leading role to play in rebuilding Afghanistan - the future of this country depends on critical support from the U.S.
Please join us in urging your Senators and Members of Congress to support more humanitarian aid and development programs to help rebuild Afghanistan.
