Help Welcome Afghans

Latest Updates:

• We have resettled 557 individuals throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the majority of whom are being supported by an incredible array of 1200 volunteers.
• Ascentria launched three Amazon wish lists filled with essential home goods. These items will help make Afghans' new houses, homes. Learn more here.
• Our two new volunteer coordinators are quickly getting up to speed as they hold orientations, determine where and how volunteers can help and then connecting volunteers with assignments.
• We are acutely aware of a different kind of isolation experienced by Afghan women. Many do not speak English and are not literate in their native language which increases their isolation. We have begun to build a peer support group for women where wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters can come together to share their experiences and connect. Leveraging the power of connection can help to mitigate the tremendous isolation that people, females in particular, experience as they resettle to America.
• Housing continues to be one of the biggest challenges for resettlement. If you have an apartment in MA or NH and you would like to offer it for free or at an affordable rate, please complete this form. We are especially in need in the following areas: Concord, NH, Worcester, MA and West Springfield, MA. Read a recent NHPR story here.
