#RaiseAPen Campaign Partners & Supporters

We cannot thank them enough for their backing and support

Our civil society partners in Afghanistan

This campaign would not be what it is without the active commitment of two associate members of the MMM Network, the Farkhunda Trust for Afghan Women’s Education and Mothers For Peace. They have been instrumental in mobilising mothers and in getting the support of the very people that can help realise a better tomorrow for Afghanistan.
