Right now, there are multiple crises happening across the globe. At Deed, we want to empower people to take action and offer their support. Here are a few nonprofits you can donate to on Deed today.
Disaster relief in Afghanistan
- Women for Afghan Women – Women and girls are said to be those who will be affected most by the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. WAW is working diligently to keep their clients, staff, and families safe by evacuating shelters and providing resources and aid to women and their families.
- Internews – The development of a vibrant media sector has been a key success story in Afghanistan. Journalists have played a critical role in providing local communities with accurate and accessible information. Now, the Taliban is taking over more territory, leaving journalists, particularly women journalists, on the ground at grave risk. Internews is providing emergency funds to relocate journalists and activists to safety and to support their vital media and community engagement work.
