Hamed Wardak Gives Back

Posted on Apr 1, 2010 in Afghanistan, Hamed Wardak, USA for UNHCR

Looking out for the needs of the most vulnerable in Afghanistan, Hamed Wardak, the President of Ludus Athletics and founder of the political movement Fedayeen-e-Sol, has pledged $100,000 to USA for UNHCR. This is the U.S. Association for the U.N Refugee Agency.  His gift will directly help people in Afghanistan.

As Hamed Wardak explains, “I have long admired and respected the work of the UNHCR. Their work is critical in Afghanistan today. I wanted to provide support to the most disadvantaged group in Afghanistan – Afghan women.”

The money that Mr. Wardak has donated will finance programs for Afghans who were displaced as a result of the ongoing conflict, and for people now returning home who have spent years in Pakistan.  The money will, in addition, target women in need.
