Description/notes
Humanitarian Assistance for the Women and Children of Afghanistan HAWCA's establishment was motivated by the despair and devastation suffered by Afghan women and children as victims of war and injustice in Afghanistan and as refugees in Pakistan. Living under the same conditions and experiencing the same misery as millions of Afghans in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the civil war, the leading members of HAWCA committed to achieving their aims and objectives as volunteers and devoted their efforts to improving the lives of Afghans under difficult circumstances, from the era of Taliban domination to today's insecure Afghanistan.
