Since the U.S. handed over power to the Taliban on August 15, 2021, hundreds of thousands of Afghans have fled the country. Many of these Afghan refugees served alongside US/NATO forces, contractors, government officials and aid workers over the past 20 years; others are members of the Afghan armed forces, women, artists, journalists, and scholars who are at particular risk of Taliban reprisal. Many families are arriving with only a backpack of belongings. Relocating and resettling refugees in a dignified manner requires a huge coordinated effort and many families need help securing shelter, acquiring basic supplies, finding jobs, and navigating the complex bureaucracy associated with the resettlement process. The Refugee Resettlement Fund supports evacuation efforts and provides resettlement services for recent refugees, including legal protection and counsel once they reach their host country.
