Want to help some of the bravest young girls we've ever met?
These girls have been rescued from the jaws of certain death for simply not doing what the Taliban want them to do. These girls have trained secretly to be the best they can. Since the Taliban take-over, their very lives have been threatened on a daily basis.
Well, we couldn't let this happen and we decided to risk everything to rescue them. Now we turn to you to help pay for their accommodation in a safe place. Having been brought over the border from Afghanistan in the middle of the night we need to house these wonderful girls. 100% of what you give will go directly to helping these girls. Please help if you can.
These 21 athletes, including cyclists and wrestlers, plus their team coaches, have left behind families in Afghanistan and for now its too dangerous for them to speak publicly about what theyve been through. With your help we can make their dreams of going back to training and competing a reality. For a while after the Taliban takeover they tried training in secret, but as the search for them was stepped up they knew that even a life in hiding wouldnt keep them safe.
By helping these brave women, you are helping give voice to the women of Afghanistan. They were so dedicated to their sport that they initially tried to train in secret. Finally they have fled their country, leaving everything behind. We want to help them and need youre assistance to do so. 100 per cent of the money raised will go towards their food and accommodation in Pakistan for the next few weeks as the UK Government considers their claims to come here.
