Sydney, 24 Feb. 2018 - Ambassador Wahidullah Waissi together with the former Govornor General of Australia the Honorable Dame Quentin Bryce and with other 300+ women & men participated at the 20th Anniversary of Mahboba Promise celebration in Sydney.

Ambassador Waissi praised Mahboba Rawi's dedication and committment during past 20 years in his speech. 

This event was to celebrate Mahboba Rawi's tireless work, commitment, compassion and setting a remarkable pathway for improving the life of Afghan women and orphans.

Founded in 1998, Mahboba’s Promise began its mission by helping to care for Afghan refugees who had been forced into a refugee camp in Pakistan by a devastating earthquake in Takhar, Afghanistan.

Mahboba’s Promise’s projects include on education and homes for children, vocational skills and training for women, and support and health care access for the wider community; and over 15 years later, still stands as an organisation.
