Understanding the Afghan Resettlement Response

The events that unfolded in Afghanistan in recent years have led to a critical situation where thousands of Afghan allies, who bravely worked alongside US forces, are seeking safety and security beyond their homeland. The Greater Carolinas Womens Center is at the forefront of providing assistance to these individuals, ensuring they receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Resettling in a new country presents numerous challenges for Afghan allies, including language barriers, cultural adjustment, and finding stable employment. The Greater Carolinas Womens Center has been actively working to address these challenges by providing comprehensive support services.

Language and Cultural Support

Finding suitable employment is crucial for Afghan allies to rebuild their lives and achieve self-sufficiency. The Greater Carolinas Womens Center provides job placement assistance and skill development programs, equipping them with the necessary skills to secure stable and rewarding employment opportunities.

Education and Scholarship Programs

We firmly believe in the power of education to transform lives. Through our scholarship programs, we have supported Afghan allies in pursuing higher education and vocational training, empowering them to achieve their goals and contribute to their new communities.

Community Integration and Support Networks

Building connections and a sense of belonging is vital for the successful integration of Afghan allies. We organize community events and facilitate support networks, fostering a welcoming environment that encourages social interaction and mutual understanding.
