Building Resilience & Food Security in Afghanistan Post U.S. Withdrawal

After more than 30 years of war, Afghanistan faces some of the worst human indicators in the world. For over 12 years, Nutrition & Education International has provided self-sustainable opportunities to over 70,000 soybean farmers. In partnership with the UN World Food Program, over 1.7 million refugees, orphans and vision and hearing impaired students have benefited from NEI’s humanitarian food program. Please join us for an update on Dr. Kwon’s 54th trip to Afghanistan and NEI’s Grassroots Village Women’s Empowerment program.

Guest speakers include: Mr. Claude Jibidar, Country Director Afghanistan, UN World Food Program, Mr, Noorullah Delawari, Head of Afghan American Chambers of Commerce in Southern California, former Governor of Central Bank of Afghanistan and Dr. Steven Kwon, President and Founder of Nutrition and Education International.
