ABOUT US

Founded in March 2020 as an emergency response to the pandemic by Dr. Shazwan Sahabudeen, Healthcare Advisor, and Ms. Julie Das, Educator & Humanitarian worker, Greater Action is a non-profit social organization run by a team of committed volunteers.


We support the livelihood of Afghan refugee women, which involves implementing comprehensive programs that address their unique challenges and provide opportunities for economic independence. i.e., skills training, access to education, baby donation support, healthcare services, advocacy, language and cultural education, self-care and well-being, and continued learning opportunities. By implementing these strategies, we contribute to refugee women's economic empowerment and well-being, helping them rebuild their lives and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
