Who I am

The Afghan Women's Mission (AWM) is an organization in the United States does solidarity work with Afghan women in Afghanistan and in the refugee camps of Pakistan. AWM raises money to build hospitals, orphanages and provide healthcare for severely abused and marginalized women who have suffered under both Islamic fundamentalism and a foreign-fueled war in Afghanistan.

My name is Aaron Peterson and I am just an ordinary person who wants to make a difference. Everyday I have read about the horrors of the conflict in Afghanistan by all sides which have included horrifying massacres, bombings, killings and torture and I have been unable to do anything about it. This has left me personally feeling hopeless, that in our world in this day and age, one of the most violent and long lasting conflicts in the world goes on since 1979 with no end in sight.

I want you to help me change this sense of hopelessness by ensuring women in Afghanistan receive the modern healthcare, education and other resources that they require. By the end of this year, 2013, I hope to raise at least $25,000 for the women of Afghanistan from people around the world. This would be a gift from ordinary people all over the world that says “the world does care about their well-being.”
