Afghanistan Needs You

The Afghanistan Needs You campaign started in September of 2015. Initiated by young and talented individuals with a goal to bring an end to the false beliefs about existence of a better life outside the country and to prevent brain drain from Afghanistan. The main goal of the campaign is to encourage Afghans to remain determined and committed to staying in Afghanistan, especially during a period i

n which our country is going through a critical transition and to raise awareness among the people that immigration is not the only way to having a better life. Afghanistan is going through a critical situation, where lack of security and an insufficient number of jobs have persuaded people to opt for immigration to other countries in search of a better life and a safer future for their families. People have left their homes, jobs and their loved ones to cross-dangerous borders and wild seas to reach western shores, putting their lives at stake. In the rest few months of 2015 tens of thousands of Afghans left the country, majority of whom were youth – the much needed workforce in rebuilding and rehabilitation of the foundations in the country. This process of brain drain and young work force leaves the country in a more fragile state than before, paves the way for instability and marks major
a setback in the development process of the country.
