- S20 -

A catalyst for hope and change. The future of Sozo Sozo has served and loved the people of Afghanistan for over 20 years and tens of thousands of individuals and families have been positively impacted through our programs and staff. Unfortunately the last few years have brought significant difficulties to our work in education initiatives and family outreach programs. Due to heightened expenses and ever increasing difficulties stemming from the government takeover Sozos programs are no longer capable of fulfilling our core mission in a sustainable way.
