  Afghan Womens Boxing Federation (AWBF)

       This country wide mission was a tough route to establish, Hope of Mother Vice President Tareq S. Azim took charge and presented the Olympic commission with a proposal reasoning what benefit this goal will have for the country and the world. The clearance of this program took place and went into effect in Feburary of 2007. The vision of this program is as follows.

        This story ends in 2012 at the Olympic Games in London. If time travel were a reality in today’s world, you could spoil the ending for yourself right now and be instantly transported to the ringside of a women’s boxing match. You’d find a frenzied room, a shrill announcer, and, in one corner, the very first female boxer to represent Afghanistan in the Olympics.

Witnessing this moment would be witnessing triumph. It would mean that Afghani women were one step closer to making even the most improbable dreams come true. The women of Afghanistan should have the opportunity to become CEOs, heads of departments, community leaders—whatever they desire to be. Boxing can be a doorway to this bold social change.

 

How we did it the first time.

This story started in 2006, when we tapped the waters of cultural change through another sport, soccer. Giving Afghan women the chance to compete in a sport was the first step. Receiving the blessing from a society rooted in strict traditional female roles was a watershed event. It would have been unimaginable even just a few years ago. On the very grounds that these matches took place were where executions and many other horrible scenes once happened

Against all odds, the soccer program was a success on multiple fronts.  Finally, the people of Afghanistan—whether supporters, skeptics or outspoken critics—had seen what their women were capable of doing. The seed had been planted.

 Giving Afghani women a taste of freedom was more than rewarding; it was inspiring. Finally, we had discovered a way to break through harsh cultural constraints. We know now that sports is our avenue for social change, and we are ready to maximize the program’s exposure through media, corporate support, and, most importantly, fans.

Enter women’s boxing. Sure, it sounds crazy. Afghan women, traditionally seen in subservient and passive roles, are going to put on boxing gloves? Crossing this line doesn’t seem so intimidating after the barriers broken via the soccer program. We believe the momentum we’ve created is just the beginning of a long history of liberation for the women of Afghanistan. Perhaps one day an Afghani woman can hold an elected office.

 

How we’re going to do it again.

 The first Women’s Boxing Federation in Afghanistan is being formed now. Fairtex, the biggest name in boxing, Mhuay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts has donated the resources to build an Olympic training gym, including equipment, trainers, and accommodations. 150  women have signed on and several more will be recruited before the team is complete.

Construction on the gym begins in early 2008. Training starts July 2008. We’re looking forward to the journey. And support to help Build More training Facilities through out the country.

  Mina Wali Health Clinic (Medical Clinic)

      In the most war torn Region of Afghanistan lays a population of 500,000 thousand local civilians. The Eastern region of Afghanistan has been targeted by Hope of Mother Professionals that the Kunar Province Seek immediate Medical Attention. The Kunar Province has 14 districts that make up the large population presented above. In the surrounding area of a 7 hour radius there is a shortage in medical awareness and attention causing several at birth mortality rates to raise month to month, disease, infection, and mental sickness with no available trace in reason for sickness.

 Our goal-

Develop an institution that would cater to the region in size and patient capacity at higher volumes. We are looking to attract medical professionals, medical staffs, and specialists to help end the mortality rates in the nengahar province of Kunar.
