afghans for Afghans is a humanitarian and educational people-to-people project that knits and crochets wool blankets, sweaters, vests, socks, mittens, and hats for the people of Afghanistan. The project started in late 2001 in response to the war that unfolded after 9/11. This follows a long-time American tradition of knitting for others at times of war and crisis. From the start, afghans for Afghans has partnered with the San Francisco office of the American Friends Service Committee. We have worked in partnership with an array of relief and humanitarian organizations, including Afghans 4 Tomorrow, Church World Service, CURE Hospital, International Orphan Care, Afghan Mobile Mini Circus, World Concern, Afghanistan Relief Organization, Airline Ambassadors, and Afghan Widows Project. To date, volunteers across the US and Canada have made tens of thousands of beautiful, warm, top-quality blankets and garments as a gesture of friendship and respect for Afghan children, women, and men. To encourage cross cultural appreciation, we also document traditional Afghan knitting designs and create new knitting patterns based on Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage.
