Prince Harry and Meghan Markle show their support for those affected in Afghanistan and Haiti
Through the Archewell Foundation, the Dukes of Sussex have turned to the complex situation in which both countries are mired.
What happened recently in Afghanistan has shocked the world. The departure of President Ashraf Ghani and the takeover of the capital, Kabul, by the Taliban has plunged the country into a deep political and military crisis, but also a humanitarian one.
Faced with this emergency situation, which has been increased by the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been many internationally renowned organizations and personalities who have wanted to raise their voices and show their solidarity. This is the case with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, through the Archewell Foundation, have joined forces with Women for Afghan Women, the largest women's organization in the Asian country, to help evacuate Afghan women and girls and provide them with a safe place. It was the organization itself in charge of informing about it and thanking the couple for the effort.
Likewise, and as we have been able to read through social networks, the Dukes of Sussex have also wanted to show their solidarity in the face of another catastrophe, the earthquake in Haiti. In that case, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have joined forces with World Central Kitchen with the goal of delivering food to those who are on edge. "With support from around the world and our partners, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and the Archewell Foundation, who joined in this effort, WCK is now delivering thousands of hot meals every day to hospitals and shelters that serve Haitians affected by the earthquake. Thank you! ", could be read through the official Twitter account.
We are immensely grateful for the generosity of the Archewell Foundation in support of our efforts to evacuate/relocate thousands of Afghan women, children, families, including our staff. If you’d like to help Afghans seeking refuge, pls check: https://t.co/86iYGcNJ0u pic.twitter.com/wSod2F4PLC
