Program accomplishments
- AFGHANISTAN - IN 2023, SAHR ENTERED INTO A FISCAL SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE WOMEN FOR JUSTICE ORGANIZATION (WJO), A NON-PROFIT, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION REGISTERED IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN. WJO'S MISSION IS TO DEFEND WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND STRENGTHEN INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, PREVENTION, AND RESPONSE TO GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SAHR ASSUMES THE FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF RECEIVING AND MANAGING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ON BEHALF OF WJO. THIS PARTNERSHIP EMERGED IN RESPONSE TO THE HUMANITARIAN AND GOVERNANCE CRISIS FOLLOWING THE TALIBAN'S TAKEOVER IN AUGUST 2021, WHICH MADE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS TO AFGHANISTAN EITHER IMPOSSIBLE OR SEVERELY RESTRICTED. TO ENSURE WJO'S CONTINUED OPERATIONS, SAHR AGREED TO RECEIVE GRANTS ON WJO'S BEHALF AND TO DISBURSE PAYMENTS TO WJO STAFF BASED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH BOTH THE TERMS OF THE FISCAL SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT AND THE REQUIREMENTS SET BY WJO'S DONORS.Expenses $257,703 · grants $257,703 · revenue $13,170
