SERVE Afghanistan
SERVE Afghanistan (Serving Emergency Relief and Vocational Enterprise) is a Christian charity registered in UK which works in Afghanistan carrying out community development, education and training projects, particularly for Afghans with disabilities.[1]
It was founded in 1972 to help victims of a famine in Ghor in Afghanistan and it was formally registered in 1980 as SERVE. In 2005 the charity transferred all assets to the newly formed charity SERVE Afghanistan.[1]
SERVE Afghanistan is primarily funded by grants from other international charities, and in 2007 had an income of $2.2 million. The largest funders were TEAR UK, TEAR Australia and Kindernothilfe.[1]
Gayle Williams was a member of this group in 2008 when she was murdered in Afghanistan.[2][3]
