LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Enshored, a leading outsourcer for start-ups, has announced that they are supporting 20 Afghan Women to escape Afghanistan and resettle in Ireland.
The Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is having a devastating impact on the freedoms and empowerment of women. While Enshored are helpless to support at a macro level, the company wants to support where they can.
Enshored is committed to supporting these women & their families in the long term and their initial donation of $20k will go towards supporting the resettlement costs, including flights, housing, clothes, education and other essentials. The refugees will be starting a new life in Ireland, one of the few countries who are currently offering a new home for Afghan refugees in need.
Enshored's donation will go to Ascend, a US based not-for-profit organization working in Afghanistan to empower young women. As the crisis in Afghanistan has developed, they've been working tirelessly to evacuate their team.
Commenting on the announcement, Ian Jackson, CEO, Enshored, said: "I feel fortunate to be in a position where I can help in some way. In this world of selfishness and a focus on individual rights over community obligation, Ascend's work is showing the way forward and I'm delighted that we can support them. Underground Railroad, Hotel Rwanda and Schindler's List all come to mind as I think of the work being done and risks taken for others. I look forward to working with Ascend and following the process as it moves forward."
