Welcome to The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
Today’s guest is Layma Murtaza, a board member from Aseel, which provides food and assistance to Afghans in need and also helps Afghan artisans bring their products to the world through the web. Layma has over 10 years of experience working in the international development and humanitarian space in Syria and Afghanistan, through NGOs like the International Rescue Committee, Danish Refugee Council, the Aga Khan Foundation, and the International Organization for Migration.
Layma talks about Aseel’s innovative approach to decentralizing aid and the importance of continuing assistance to Afghanistan in the aftermath of executive orders that impact the country.
